gmenroc Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Also reading that there is nothing in this 1-yr deal that precludes the Giants from tagging him next year. Might be a dick move to do that, but yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jranieli Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I thought he wasn’t able to sign a contact since he never signed the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more surprised we saw this now and not drawn out. I am guessing the voices that suggested a long term hold out only damages Barkley won...even if Barkley didn't like that reality. I think it was Carl Banks that said training camp was gonna happen regardless, games were gonna get played...essentially that time stops for no man...and don't be a fool. Still, I saw Barkley holding out until late preseason. As a fan, I'm glad to have him. As a person, I feel for the guy.

Mr. P Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 @spotrac If Saquon Barkley maxes out his restructured deal in 2023, he'll earn $11M. That increases his franchise tag value for 2024 up to $13.2M, or a $24.2M payout over 2 years. Only Christian McCaffrey ($30.5M) & Derrick Henry ($26M), have higher 2-year cash outputs.

UK-Giantsfan Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I’m delighted. Daboll’s whole Offense needs him. Thank goodness. He might be the difference between 11-6 and 6-11 next season to be honest. Go Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxRik Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 So because he didn't sign the tag, and is now under contract, can he be tagged two more times or does the fact he got tagged still count as his first tag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he can only be tagged one more time. Otherwise I think Barkley just would have signed the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Yeah he didn’t sign it but he was still officially tagged so it counts as 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Good news... at least Barkley gets the 11m and hopefully has a great season. The realities of being a modern-day gladiator are harsh. Make good money on your 5–8-year window. Hopefully he has a fallback plan post football. If he does not, he should start working on it now.

BlueInCanada Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Reports are Barkley wanted to be traded when he got tagged. The Giants obliged and called a number of teams to find a trade partner. Seems like this one year deal is just to hold things over till Barkley can hit FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I just read Barkley was looking for long term deal at 15 mil per and after tagging him, Giants pursued trading him at the request of his representation...called a dozen teams per the article but found no takers. Unclear what Giants were asking...but had to be a 1st rounder plus I'd think. To give up a 1st, and big money in this RB market...not shocking he stayed on tag...but I'm sure the lack of interest elsewhere and the trade request played into negotiations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RB is far more important than what the dumb market says…. Would you rather have Barkley or that butter-hands TE Evan Ingram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
