Giants: What does Saquon Barkley’s holdout mean for rookie RB Eric Gray?

The New York Giants failed to come to terms on an agreement with RB Saquon Barkley on Monday, leaving the superstar’s future with the team shrouded in mystery. Barkley will consider holding out into the regular season, potentially leaving New York without one of its best playmakers.

Thankfully, the Giants have an insurance plan in place after drafting a promising running back prospect in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Eric Gray will now see a larger role in training camp and preseason, which will help him develop at a quicker rate and be more prepared for his rookie season.
