NY Giants RB Saquon Barkley could end up hitting free agency

Have we seen the last of running back Saquon Barkley with the New York Giants? As things stand, per a report, the G-Men and Barkley are not close on their negotiations for a new deal. No. 26, a fan favorite, is coming off his best year since his rookie campaign.

However, the growing feeling is that the Giants could use to spend their money elsewhere instead of overpaying for Saquon. This would be wild to see.

#Giants RB Saquon Barkley is now considered likely to hit free-agency

There is still a “gap” in negotiations between the team and Barkley, per @nypost

Giants arent likely to pay Saquon more than $12.5M a year and have "little interest" in placing the $10.1M franchise tag on him pic.twitter.com/W0QE5tMO5A

Barkley would surely have teams lining up to try and sign him if he hits freee agency. This will be something to watch over the next few weeks.
