The New York Giants have seemingly prioritized using their franchise tag on quarterback Daniel Jones, which could set the stage for running back Saquon Barkley to leave in free agency.
"Real possibility, yes. This is a player who's earned a good contract," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said of Barkley on Monday's episode of Get Up. "The franchise tag would be about $10 million. He's due a lot more than that on a long-term deal. So if he's a free agent, they would probably still negotiate up until free agency next week, but it would be less likely for him to return.
