In recent weeks there has been plenty of ink spilled regarding the state of earnings for running backs, especially in the wake of Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs and Tony Pollard all failing to sign a contract extension prior to the July 17 deadline for franchise tagged players. However, as of early Tuesday morning at least one of those three has a contract in place, allowing him to report to training camp and potentially earn more than offered by the franchise tag.
Surprise!
The #Giants and star RB Saquon Barkley agreed to terms on a new 1-year deal worth up to $11M, sources say, as Barkley gives himself a chance to beat the franchise tag.
