Wouldn't be surprised to see a long-term deal for Saquon Barkley follow relatively soon. Before the start of free agency.
As a fan, I wanted to keep both Jones and Barkley.
Giants will likely try to get a deal done with Barkley (probably for three years) with an AAV of $12.5M. And Barkley would be foolish not to sign that deal.
If he chooses not to sign a LTD, it's not that big a hit on the cap this year.

When he says long term, is that in running back years?
be looking to draft SBs successor this year. It’s a great year to draft a RB, as there’s many, many good ones and could be had in round 4 or 5 even! Barkley for one more year IMO. Not sure they’ll come to terms for him as he wants too much and RB turnover is high in the league. Also short careers, as well.
Saquon has the right to hold out until he gets a deal. He doesn't have to sign the tag, but wouldn't get paid. I think they'll backload a 3 year deal with a voidable 3rd year
Quarterback: $32.42 million Running back: $10.09 million
Tight end: $11.35 million
Wide receiver: $19.74 million
Offensive line: $18.24 million
Defensive tackle: $18.94 million
Defensive end: $19.73 million
Linebacker: $20.93 million
Cornerback: $18.14 million
Safety: $14.46 million
for four years so we had to pay a ton to extend it...lol....
I can only guess Daboll thinks DJ will improve. But excuse me for not celebrating . This offense was not good last year and I don't see it getting any better returning the same cast .
the feeling that the Giants might have already worked out a deal with Saquon; but it was all contingent on them being able to say to him I already got 1 year at 10 mil. Without that negotiating card Saquon wouldnt forgo multiple years of 14 mil for multiple years of 12.5 so to say which the Giants could force on him since they can force him to play at 1 year 10 mil.

Yeah. I also just don’t see Saquon as the type of guy to hold out.

The offense wasn't bad either. Seemed they did real well in the redzone. ALl while navigating the year with a starting TE being lost for a month +, Golloday busting, Toney not getting on the field & Shep being lost for the season early. Add some interior o lineman & some wr's and its a different story. Jones arrow is pointing up.

This seems extremely likely. The tag number is low-ish. He might want more than the Giants want to pay, but the Giants already offered him more than the tag number. Looks like there's a deal to be made that will more or less satisfy both sides.
RE: Hope you all realize that this likely means Odell
I know that there are a lot of Barkley bashers out there, but they failed to realize his value, and he makes Daniel better. I do not agree with high numbers with Barkley, but I think he should get at least 13M per year for 3 years. He has shown this year that he can power run and still hit the home run plays as well as catch out of the backfield. Just need the wide receivers and better IOLs to make the Giants offense more of a nightmare.

The Giants put the non-exclusive franchise tag on Saquon Barkley. He can negotiate with other teams, with the Giants having right to match any offer. If the Giants decline to match the offer, they receive 2 first round draft picks.

It was above average (barely but it was) in 2022.
But again, let's go by what Jones and Barkley did when Barkley was HURT and the team was led by Micky Mouse. BEcause why not.

Cheaper than the exclusive? If so what’s the number?
Exclusive: Teams must offer the selected player a one-year contract no less than either the average of the top-five salaries at that player’s position based on April of the current year or 120% of the player’s previous year’s salary, whichever is greater.
Non-exclusive: Teams must offer the selected player a one-year contract no less than the average of the top-five cap hits of that player’s positions or 120% of the player’s previous year’s salary, whichever is greater.
Fucking greedy bastard.... could say the same about Jones and yes I know I get the contrarian view that they earned it...and that the Agent's are protecting their interests...It just pisses me off ..If they have half a brain they are set for life....and they have to milk the franchise.... this is a vent

.
I rather they didn't. Let him play on the tag, prove he can stay healthy for another year...and be productive.
His production sure fell off the second half of the season!
very impressed with how schoen seems to have command
of his priorities and is ticking through them. getting SB extended or not kind of doesn't matter much at this point because the numbers wont change too much unless he decides to really go for things this year. nyg have a lot of leverage now so i expect them to get a fair deal done more to keep an important player happy and remove future uncertainty than anything else. the numbers at RB should be manageable enough that there's flexibility (just as CAR had with CMC deal in the first 3 years).
It'd be curious to see how Saquon handles this if he's still on the tag come the start of training camp. He doesn't strike me as one to holdout, but who knows?

He's going to come down to the Giants number now. I doubt he plays on the tag, the Giants offer looks much better now. 3 year deal and probably a big cut candidate after 2.

His value becomes pronounced more if there's a reliable platoon RB with him. Breida is a nice veteran, but he's a #3.
Giants did a lot of homework on Bigsby apparently at Combine.
I still expect a RB, maybe even in the 3rd!

Tank would be a great compliment to SB, very different running style.
I believe just over $10 Million
$10.1 Mil so a lot less than the $12.5 he turned down.
Running back: $10.09 million
Tight end: $11.35 million
Wide receiver: $19.74 million
Offensive line: $18.24 million
Defensive tackle: $18.94 million

I can only guess Daboll thinks DJ will improve. But excuse me for not celebrating . This offense was not good last year and I don't see it getting any better returning the same cast .
Hope he doesn't pull a Leveon Bell and shows up. Draft his replacement, and if an opportunity knocks trade him in season for the best you can get.
Yeah. I also just don’t see Saquon as the type of guy to hold out.

Hope not. Just my take, but aside from his age/injury history, he's also not the same guy/character who was here before. Airplane video did it for me.
Don’t we have to want him and offer him a contract?
