Josh Jacobs and Saquon Barkley were in the same exact situation ... until Tuesday morning.
In a surprising development, Barkley and the New York Giants ended a contract stalemate early Tuesday morning by agreeing to a new one-year contract. Thus, the franchise-tagged running back is reporting to the team’s training camp.
Surprise!
The #Giants and star RB Saquon Barkley agreed to terms on a new 1-year deal worth up to $11M, sources say, as Barkley gives himself a chance to beat the franchise tag. He gets a $2M signing bonus.
