Saquon Barkley Rumors: Insiders 'Watching Closely' How Giants Handle RB's Contract

People around the NFL are "watching closely" how Saquon Barkley's future with the New York Giants evolves, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The Giants placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Barkley before free agency opened, but the two sides haven't had much movement since then.

Ralph Vacchiano Giants GM Joe Schoen told reporters today that "There's no outstanding offer right now" for RB Saquon Barkley. "Once we put the franchise tag on him, we stepped back."

In other words, as Schoen added, the Giants are "fine" with Barkley playing the season on the franchise tag.
