Saquon Barkley won't come close to setting NFL rushing records if the Giants re-sign him.
Now, everyone agrees on that point, but missing four different deadlines dating back to November 2022 to sign Barkley was still a major mistake by the Giants — most notably. Nanoha will eventually deliver the 2,000-yard rusher to the rival Eagles in July 2023, when he was haggling over the NFL's version of the salary cap change.
The Giants' trajectory changed on March 7, 2023, when the Giants offered QB Daniel Jones $160 million instead of increasing Barkley's guaranteed guarantee from about $19 million to about $24 million over three years. opted to pay $82 million in extended bond. Thus, Jones cleared the franchise tag to use to return for a demonstration season. Berkeley was tagged.
“They forgot how they made the playoffs in 2022,” one NFC executive told the Post. “It wasn't the quarterback's fault.”
