Giants 'Not in Any Hurry' with Saquon Barkley Contract Extension, Says John Mara

New York Giants co-owner John Mara seemingly has no interest in discussing a contract extension for Saquon Barkley until he proves himself on the field in 2021.

Mara spoke to reporters Wednesday and said the team is "not in any hurry" to ink the 2018 Offensive Rookie of the Year, who missed most of last season because of a torn ACL.

"I certainly think we're not in any hurry to do that. We fully expect him to be as good as new," Mara said. "I mean, if anybody is going to spend 100 percent of his efforts to rehab, it will be Saquon just knowing what type of motivation he has and desire he has.
