Saquon Barkley Set to Enter Free Agency
The New York Giants are unlikely to use the franchise tag on Saquon Barkley again, paving the way for his entry into free agency.
- Giants insider Jordan Raanan suggests the team is preparing to let Barkley test the free agency market.
- Barkley, turning 27, has expressed a desire to be a 'Giant for life' but is open to exploring options.
- The running back's potential departure follows a season where he was heavily utilized but faced a decline in efficiency.
- Negotiations last year did not meet Barkley's expectations, making a second franchise tag unlikely.
- The NFL's valuation of running backs and cap space considerations are influencing the Giants' decision.
