Giants RB Saquon Barkley reportedly won't sign franchise tag before start of offseason program

Running back Saquon Barkley won't sign his franchise tender with the New York Giants before the start of the team's offseason program, according to Kim Jones of Newsday and Adam Schefter of ESPN. That means Barkley will be ineligible to participate in the program when it begins next week.

I’m told Saquon Barkley will not be signing the franchise tag & therefore will not be eligible to participate when the #NYG offseason program begins Monday. More to come on @NewsdaySports.
