New York Giants star Saquon Barkley could see a big raise this offseason as he enters free agency, but he doesn't expect to become the highest-paid paid running back.

"I'm not really too concerned with resetting the [RB] market," Barkley said Sunday, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN. "I'm realistic."

Barkley had a $7.2 million cap hit in 2022 from his fifth-year option on his rookie deal, but his new contract could put him closer to the highest-paid players at his position. Eight different running backs average at least $12 million per year on their current deals, per Spotrac.
