Overview

  • Saquon Barkley, the New York Giants' star running back, may be playing his final game with the team as his future remains uncertain.
  • Barkley, who has been with the Giants for five seasons, was franchised by the team for the current season and signed a one-year contract that paid him $10.1 million.
  • The Giants and general manager Joe Schoen have the right to franchise Barkley again, a decision that will be made after the season ends.
  • Barkley has expressed his desire to remain with the Giants for his entire career, but acknowledges that getting a multi-year contract is out of his control.
  • If the Giants decide not to franchise Barkley, he will become a free agent and can negotiate a deal with any of the NFL's other 31 teams.
