Time is running out for Saquon Barkley and the New York Giants to reach an agreement on a long-term contract extension.
Barkley and the Giants have until Monday's deadline to come to terms on an extension. If they can't come to an agreement, he'll have to play the 2023 season on the $10.1 million franchise tag. He could also sit out the entire year.
You can count Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton among those who believes Barkley, the 2018 Offensive Rookie of the Year, is deserving of a significant extension.
In response to a tweet questioning why the Giants should give Barkley a "boatload" of money this summer, Slayton responded:
Darius Slayton @Young_Slay2This is like not buying YOUR wife a wedding ring because 31 other men decided THEIR wife wasn't worth it.
