The New York Giants picked up the fifth-year option on Saquon Barkley's contract, the team announced Wednesday.
The running back out of Penn State has been one of the more electric players in New York over the past four years, but he has struggled to remain healthy. Barkley played just two games in 2020 before suffering an ACL tear after posting back-to-back 1,000-plus-yard rushing seasons.
The 24-year-old is expected to earn $7.2 million in 2022.
