After Barkley spoke at his youth camp earlier this month about the “untruthful” and “misleading” reports of ongoing contract negotiations, “talks are back on” between the RB and the Giants, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Tuesday’s NFL Total Access.
“First of all, the Giants and Saquon Barkley, he said recently at his (youth) camp, he said he’s not going to make a definitive declaration of what he is going to do in the 2023 season until we get into that deadline and to be sure there is still room here for a deal,” Rapoport explained. “Talks are back on between the Giants and Saquon Barkley. Now, we’ll see if they can get to a point where he could become one of the highest-paid running backs in the NFL.
“At the very least, Saquon Barkley is expected to be back with the Giants on a one-year fully guaranteed tag. It’s just a matter of whether he’s going to get the security that he wants. Time will tell on that one.”
