"Giants to Let Saquon Barkley Hit Free Agency, Won't Use Franchise Tag"

The New York Giants have decided not to use the franchise tag on running back Saquon Barkley, allowing him to become an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career. Barkley, who has expressed his desire to remain with the Giants, played last season on an adjusted franchise tag after failing to reach a long-term deal with the team. Despite his desire to stay, the Giants' decision not to tag him indicates a potential shift in their plans for the future.
