Arrr, me hearties! The gallant Saquon Barkley, a swashbucklin' star of the New York Giants, hath spilled the beans on his fondest memory whilst sailin' with the crew. He be settin' his sights on free agency, ready to chart a new course on his piratical journey.
The status of Saquon Barkley with the New York Giants is uncertain, as it seems the star running back will enter free agency without receiving a contract extension from the team immediately. In the 2023 season, Barkley played under the franchise tag for the Giants, only missing three games. He had impressive statistics, rushing for 962 yards and six touchdowns, as well as catching 41 passes for 280 yards and four touchdowns. His 10 total touchdowns matched his previous season's total, despite playing fewer games. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Barkley was asked about his favorite memories with the Giants. He mentioned being drafted as his most memorable moment and expressed that he doesn't have much time to reflect on other moments due to his upcoming free agency. Barkley signed the Giants' franchise tender before training camp and reportedly did not have a "no franchise tag" clause in his deal, leaving open the possibility of being tagged again. Despite this, Barkley stated that he was "numb" to the idea of being tagged for a second consecutive season. Giants' general manager Joe Schoen stated that discussions about free agency would take place in February. In his six seasons with the Giants, Barkley has achieved impressive numbers and accolades, including over 5,000 rushing yards, 35 rushing touchdowns, and 12 receiving touchdowns. He has also been nominated to the Pro Bowl twice and was named the 2018 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.
