Running Back Saquon Barkley makes a major decision regarding his Giants future
As the offseason program is set to kick off next week, it looks like Barkley won't be joining the team just yet. Despite receiving the team's franchise tag before the start of the new league year, Barkley has yet to sign it, according to a report by Kim Jones of Newsday.
What does this mean for Barkley's participation in the team's offseason work? Well, since he hasn't signed the tag, he's not officially under contract with the team. While this portion of the offseason program is technically voluntary, without signing the tag, Barkley won't face any repercussions for missing it, even if it were mandatory.
It's worth noting that the market for running backs has been soft around the league, as seen with Dallas Cowboys' running back Tony Pollard opting to sign his $10.1 million tag. Barkley, on the other hand, seems to be taking a different approach for now, choosing not to sign the tag and potentially leaving his options open.
However, if Barkley continues to hold out and doesn't sign a long-term deal by the July deadline for franchise-tagged players, he'll have to make a decision about whether to report to training camp under the terms of the tag. It'll be interesting to see how this situation plays out for the dynamic and talented Barkley, and Giants fans will surely be keeping a close eye on the developments.
