Saquon Barkley's Contract Negotiations with Giants Cause Concern.

The New York Giants have less than four weeks to sign a long-term deal with running back Saquon Barkley before the franchise tag deadline on July 17. The usual formula for translating a franchise tender into a long-term deal doesn't work for Barkley's situation, as his $10.1 million tag fails to reflect his overall value to the offense. Barkley recently called out the Giants for leaking details aimed at making him look greedy. If no deal is reached, the two sides can only do a one-year deal, and the franchise tag will extend his time in the NFL to six years.
