Why the Giants should wait to sign Saquon Barkley to an extension

New York Giants’ running back Saquon Barkley is only 24 years-old and is heading into the final year of his rookie contract. With that being said, Big Blue shouldn’t be in a rush to sign him to a new deal.

With Barkley coming off of a torn ACL, the Giants need to be patient and see how he bounces back in 2021. Also they have to weigh whether or not it’s worth it to give him a big contract.

As talented as Barkley is, he hasn’t played a full season since his rookie year in 2018 and let’s be honest the Giants aren’t winning any more games with him in the backfield.
