Instead of spending $32.4 million on Daniel Jones' franchise card, the New York Giants beat fans on Tuesday by renewing their quarterback. They will have both him and Saquon Barkley on the 2023 payroll for less than that price. Jones' limited numbers and Barkley's $10.1 million card will help the team pursue the upgrade in free agency, but another deadline will come after this season.
The Giants will have until July 17 to reach an agreement to renew with Barkley, who has been involved in extraordinary renewal talks with the team since November. From that point on, negotiations begin. negotiations, the New York Post's Ryan Dunleavy reports that the Giants have upped their offer for Barkley. That unspecified increase is believed to have emerged during the parties' illegal negotiations.
Barkley is said to have turned down a neighborhood deal worth $12.5 million per year. Giants GM Joe Schoen admits in-season talks have not led to much progress, but Dunleavy added optimism exists that the Giants and Barkley can strike a deal before the July deadline . Without renewal, Barkley will be tied to that $10.1 million cap for the duration of the season. Barkley said after the season he wants to stay with the Giants.
Dunleavy adds that underwriting distribution and contract lengths have also formed barriers here. The three- and four-year timelines have split the sides. This will likely be Barkley's last big deal, given his level of experience and age (26), so there's reason to be sure will be a bigger factor in a deal. agreement is closed. That said, recent rerun renewals have been mostly four- or five-year pacts. Derrick Henry, Joe Mixon, Aaron Jones and Christian McCaffrey have signed a four-year extension. Dalvin Cook and Alvin Kamara signed a five-year agreement. Ezekiel Elliott (six) and Nick Chubb (three) are the outliers among the top earners.
Barkley joins Josh Jacobs and Tony Pollard on the card, a team-friendly price that will test higher than just the kicker/punter card this year. Given the deals mentioned above, all of which are agreed between 2020-21 — with the exception of Elliott's, which was signed in 2019 — it makes sense for Barkley to pursue a market-leading deal given the world's salary increases. Barkley initially asked for the amount at McCaffrey's rate, but Dunleavy noted that the sixth year back reduced his price a bit. Barkley said at the end of the season he doesn't want to reset the market, but after his recovery season and considering his importance to the Giants, don't expect him to settle down in the $12 million-AAV range. However, the parties seem to have closed the gap to some extent.
The Giants announced Jones' extension on Tuesday night. According to Dunleavy, Jones has fallen from a $48 million-a-year claim, and The Athletic's Dan Duggan noted that the midfielder's agents flew to New Jersey on Monday to wrap up negotiations (required). registration request). Jones' 2023 cap is expected to bring in around $19 million. Barkley's inability to sign an extension in advance of the free agency; Negotiations have been stalled since Tuesday morning. But the Giants should still have some room to go after some free agents or keep others. They are said to be interested in bringing back Julian Love , Nick Gates and Jon Feliciano . All three are sold free agent tickets.
Making those deals look easier after the team using the Tennessee Titans blueprint for 2020 (Henry card, Ryan Tannehill extension), negotiated its top off-season hurdle .>> Store: Gihutee
