Time is beginning to run short for Saquon Barkley and the New York Giants to reach a long-term deal. The deadline for that to happen is July 17, just 11 days away.
CBS Sports salary cap analyst and former sports agent Joel Corry on Wednesday called the negotiations between Barkley and the Giants the “most acrimonious” of any franchise player negotiation. On the ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast in mid-May, Corry said the Giants pulling their contract offer to Barkley after putting the franchise tag on him was an “unusual step.” He repeated that assertion on Wednesday.
