Deadlines spur action. So Saquon Barkley and the Giants certainly could strike a deal Monday, even if they seem miles apart.
Daniel Jones got things done with Big Blue in the final minutes back in March, remember. And if you want to go further back into local franchise tag history — the Jets wish you would not — things seemed even more hopeless with Muhammad Wilkerson in 2016 than they have with Barkley. And then he got paid out of nowhere right before the tag extension deadline.
But we do not see a similar result here.
