There is still "room for a deal" with Giants and RB Saquon Barkley

Ian Rapoport

Jun 20, 2023 · 8:02 PM EDT

Saquon Barkley said recently at his camp that he will not make a "definitive declaration" about what he's going to do for the 2023 season until we get to the July 17th deadline for franchise-tagged players to get a long-term extension. Per Rapoport, there is still room for a deal. Talks are "back on" for a possible extension beyond the franchise tag.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a positive spin after Barkley mentioned less than two weeks ago that he would consider sitting out the entirety of the 2023 season if he needs to. A long-term deal for the running back entering his sixth year seems unlikely, but there's no doubt that Barkley remains one of the most talented backs in the league when healthy.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley willing to sit out entire 2023 season

Saquon Barkley and the New York Giants have until July 17 to come to a long-term contract, or the running back will play 2023 under the $10.1 million franchise tag.

Unless he sits out the entire season.

Barkley told reporters Sunday following his youth football camp in Jersey City that sitting out the campaign is an option he'd consider if it comes to that.

Fantasy Impact:

Most fantasy players will remember the disastrous results that came when Le'Veon Bell sat out a season as an aging running back and the comparisons between that situation and this are pretty stark. It's quite the negotiating ploy but sitting out a season in what could be the twilight of his career is unlikely to translate to future success on the field.

Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell have had their turns with the ball to little success, so Eric Gray may be the most interesting dart throw while we ponder Barkley's future.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley won't sign franchise tag

New York Giants star running back Saquon Barkley does not plan to sign his franchise tender before the team's offseason program begins Monday, according to Newsday and ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact:

Barkley played a full season in 2022 for the first time since 2018. He was runner-up as the Comeback Player of the Year with his 1,650 scrimmage yards.

If the Giants do not sign Barkley to a long-term deal by July 15, he would make $10M in 2023 under the one-year franchise tender.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley questionable for Week 14

Giants head coach Brian Daboll just said it’s possible Saquon Barkley’s status for Sunday is in doubt. He hopes he will play but his neck is sore, so he will see.

Fantasy Impact:

After coming out of the gate on fire, Barkley has cooled off immensely over the last three games, accruing only 124 yards on the ground while averaging 2.8 yards per carry. If he were forced to miss Week 14, Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell would likely split the workload, making each of them no more than an RB3 for fantasy purposes.
