The New York Giants running back Saqyon Barkley has yet to sign the franchise tender that would pay him $10.1 million for the 2023 season and offer him no security beyond that.
“When we had the conversations with Saquon it was known we were going to get to a certain point and then we were gonna move on and regroup at some other time,” Giants General Manager Schoen said Thursday at his pre-draft press conference.
Schoen said he has not spoken with Barkley in three or four weeks.
Barkley has until July 17 to either sign the franchise tender or agree to a new deal with the Giants.
#Giants GM Joe Schoen says nothing has changed with RB Saquon Barkley. There’s no offer on the table at the moment and the sides haven’t spoken.
Will he be on the field this season? “You have to ask to him.”

Joe Schoen: “nothing’s changed” with Saquon Barkley. No current negotiations.
Schoen and the Giants do have ongoing dialogue with Dexter Lawrence’s camp. #giants
