The New York Giants could look to bolster their running back room with superstar Saquon Barkley possibly playing on the franchise tag in 2023. Barkley, a superstar whose career has been hampered by injuries, had the franchise tag placed on him after failing to reach an agreement on a contract extension with the Giants.

While the Giants hope to extend Barkley ahead of the 2023 season, they could be stuck playing him on the franchise tag this season.
