The New York Giants and running back Saquon Barkley have agreed to a one-year contract worth up to $11 million, according to an Associated Press source. The deal was finalized on Thursday and is expected to be officially announced soon.
Barkley, who was the second overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, has been a key part of the Giants’ offense since his rookie season. He has rushed for over 3,000 yards and 25 touchdowns in his first three seasons. He also has 1,000 receiving yards and six touchdowns in that span.
The new contract is a reward for Barkley’s consistent performance and leadership. He has been a leader in the locker room and on the field, and his presence has been a major factor in the Giants’ success.
The new contract will give Barkley the opportunity to continue to be a leader for the Giants. It also gives him financial security for the next year and beyond.
The Giants are hoping that this new deal will help them make a run at the playoffs this season. With Barkley leading the way, they have a chance to make some noise in the NFC East.
This new contract is a win-win for both sides. The Giants get to keep one of their best players around for another year, while Barkley gets the financial security he deserves. It’s a great move for both parties, and it should help the Giants continue to build on their success.
