He's a bargain for a contender probably. But..he is what he is..good back..good teammate..not the future. A whimsical choice that couldn't be jacket ready, touched from God.

If they can lock him up to a fair 3-year deal...

SaGone Barkley, future Houston Texan.

No surprise on this.  I would think teams feel like those franchise tags are too high of a cap hit for a RB.

My definition of fair is no more than $6.5M/yr with performance incentives.  I don't want the aggregate to be more than $21M/10M guaranteed over the 3 years.  I'm comfortable taking our chance in the draft or securing a cheaper alternative.

I'm glad the Giants chose not to franchise him; it's unlikely he'll secure $12M/yr in this market.

He was never going to be tagged again at that number.  No chance!

Lets see what others want to offer him

Like Zeke I doubt he gets an offer acceptable to him

He will sign early next season by a RB hungry team.....I have no idea who would step up.  It wont be the Giants

He's a decent back, we need an exceptional one

No tag for Pollard, Henry, or Ekeler either. I can guarantee you there's some collusion going on amongst owners - nothing formal, mind you, but more of a "we have a chance to get things under control with this position this offseason".

None of these guys are going to be happy when all is said and done. Maybe Jacobs. But I don't see anyone else getting the contract they think they deserve.

Giants should match whatever he gets offered. If we get a new QB, it's essential he has Saquon to help the pressure.

Because Barkley helped so much with the pressure over the last 3+years?  He's a below average pass protector and has demonstrated below average hands over the last few seasons; I simply don't under how the 27 year old Barkley negates pressure on a rookie QB.  The Giants will need guards and WRs to aid a rookie QB...

You underestimate just how awful Tommy and DJ were in regards to their responsiblity for pressures (dead last in tleague) as said by PFF. It is essential we keep him IF we get a rookie QB, you are trusting Eric Gray instead?

I am talking about schemes the defense has when playing against the Giants. No one was worried about DJ, they were worried avbout Saquon which affected his numbers. Give him a better QB like Drake or Daniels and the offense becomes a top 15 offesnse or so next year.

How about a future Philadelphi Eagle or a future Washington Commander? How about a future Dallas Cowboy ?

I think the no-tag is the right call.

I can't see him getting close to what was offered last year, especially considering who else is on the market.
