Star running back Saquon Barkley from the New York Giants has suggested that he may part ways with the team in the upcoming offseason. Barkley, a pivotal player for the Giants over the past six seasons, is on track to become a free agent in March.
Last year, the 26-year-old came close to leaving when contract extension negotiations fell apart, ultimately opting for a one-year franchise tag deal. Now, as his contract approaches its end once again, it appears unlikely that the Giants will use the tag again, given its hefty cost of $22.6 million, surpassing even the league’s highest-paid running back, Christian McCaffrey ($16 million).
Despite previously expressing his commitment to staying with the Giants for his entire career, Barkley seems to have reconsidered following the disappointing contract talks last year. When questioned about the possibility of playing for another team next season, Barkley conceded, “Yeah, I mean it never crossed my mind until last year after I got tagged.”

He went on to say, “Until that moment, I genuinely thought I would conclude my career as a New York Giant. It was a personal goal of mine, and it’s still a possibility. I hold a great deal of respect for the Mara family, the Tisch family, and everyone associated with the Giants organization.
“They are aware of that, but as you go through the contract negotiation and experience the tag process, you come to realize the business aspect of it. Veterans used to tell me about this, and while I believed them, you truly understand it only when you go through it. So, can I envision myself wearing a different uniform? Yes, it’s a possibility.”
Barkley didn’t hide his desire for a long-term contract with the team, a proposal they didn’t extend before opting for the franchise tag, a decision that didn’t sit well wit
