🏈🤝 Saquon Barkley and the Giants Agree on Temporary One-Year Deal: They’re Back to Business
A’ight, here’s what’s poppin’: Saquon Barkley, that cat from the Giants, ain’t just sittin’ ’round. No, sir. He hit that training camp ’cause he signed that last-minute one-year deal. No more chatter ’bout him sitting out. Barkley and the team, they kickin’ it this season. Even had some fans yellin’ his name. 🏃💨
My man Barkley? Cool as a cucumber, just hittin’ his spot on the field, all smiles. 🎉
Now, people were stoked that Barkley even showed up. ‘Cause for real, it seemed like he and the Giants were beefin’ for a minute, tryin’ to hit that long-term deal before the deadline, and folks were talkin’. But Tuesday came, and everything was all good. Barkley signed for $11 million and snagged a $2 million signing bonus. Money talks, you feel me? 💰📝
Giants’ quarterback Daniel Jones said it plain: “When he’s out there, things change. How he plays, how he feels, how he leads.” Yeah, my man’s got game.
Last season? Giants were on fire, 9-7-1 record, playoffs and all that jazz. They were runnin’ wild, and Barkley was front and center with 1,312 yards in 2022. 🏃💥
Jones was even throwin’ down with some solid passes, ’cause, well, my man found his groove. 🏈👍
Giants showed him love with a four-year contract, $82 million guaranteed. Andrew Thomas? Signed for five years with $65 million guaranteed. That’s how you do it. 🎉💸
But Barkley’s future? Still up in the air, though.
General Manager Joe Schoen was real, “We tried, but couldn’t bridge that gap. But we’re a better team with Saquon.” 🏆🏟️
Even without that long-term deal, Giants are lookin’ to build on that success, especially with Coach Brian Daboll. They even traded for Darren Waller, who was showin’ off with a touchdown catch on Wednesday. 🤸⚽
Add in Jalin Hyatt, and the Giants got more options, more ways to bring that heat. 🎯🏈
Barkley? He’s lookin’ to cash in, especially if he brings it this season. Giants might show him more love, or let him walk. All options on the table. 📊🎈
Barkley’s been through some things, missing games, dealing with injuries, but my man’s a fighter. Now he’s just lookin’ for that payday, just like everyone else. 🏃🏈🚀
Brought in some new cats to his negotiation team, like Ed Perry, to help with talks. 🤵♂️📃
And Wednesday? Barkley was chillin’ with fans, takin’ photos, signing autographs. Just doing his thing.
Jones kept it one hundred, “He’s excited to be here, same leader, same presence, and just all about the team. He knows how impactful he can be.”
So, Barkley and the Giants? They’re back to the grind, focusing on now and lettin’ the future unfold. 🏈🤝🌟
NOW IN ENGLISH
🏈🤝 Saquon Barkley and the Giants Agree on Temporary One-Year Deal: They’re Back to Business
The Giants’ star running back, Saquon Barkley, made headlines as he appeared at training camp after signing a last-minute one-year deal that silenced rumors that he would sit out. Barkley and the team are enjoying their time together this season, as he entered the practice field on Wednesday to the cheers of a couple of hundred fans calling his name. 🏃💨
Barkley seemed unfazed, merely trotting to his position in the backfield with a joyful stride. 🎉
Both fans and teammates were delighted that Barkley had even shown up. It seemed that for nearly a year, the Giants and Barkley were unable to agree on a long-term deal before the July 17 deadline, leading to speculation that Barkley might refuse to participate in training camp or even the regular season. 😟
But the issue was resolved on Tuesday, the first day that Giants veterans could report to camp when the team signed Barkley to a one-year contract reportedly worth $11 million, along with a $2 million signing bonus. With more upfront money and incentives, the deal was an improvement over his chances of playing under the franchise tag, which would have paid him $10.09 million had he not declined. 💰📝
“It makes sense when he’s out there,” Giants quarterback Daniel Jones said in a news conference. “He makes a difference with his play and how he feels, his leadership, his communication, and how he brings guys along.”
Last season, the Giants’ surprising 9-7-1 record, and their first playoff berth since 2016, heavily depended on their running game: They recorded the NFL’s fourth-most rushing yards (with Barkley contributing 1,312) in 2022. 🏃💥
The ground game enabled Jones to succeed with play-action passes and accurate short throws after he had struggled with turnovers earlier in his career. 🏈👍
Jones was rewarded in March with a four-year contract extension that included $82 million in guaranteed money. Andrew Thomas, the offensive tackle who protects Jones and creates openings for Barkley, signed a five-year deal on Wednesday with a reported $65 million guaranteed. 🎉💸
However, Barkley’s future, who accounted for 27.7 percent of the team’s yards from scrimmage last season, remains unclear.
“We reached some kind of agreement, but we couldn’t bridge the gap,” General Manager Joe Schoen said on Wednesday.
He continued, “He’s an excellent player. He’s a great teammate. He’s someone we tried hard to get a deal with, but we’re a better football team with Saquon here to start training camp.” 🏆🏟️
Despite the absence of a long-term deal, Barkley’s availability for at least the 2023 season allows the Giants to build upon the success they established last year under Coach Brian Daboll’s first season and without a No. 1 receiving threat. In March, the team traded a third-round draft pick for former Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller, who made a touchdown catch on Wednesday, showcasing his agility and effectiveness near the goal line. 🤸⚽
The Giants also selected receiver Jalin Hyatt in the third round of the 2023 draft, hoping that his and Waller’s additions will give Jones more receiving options and enable the offense to attack downfield more frequently.
“His job is to make correct decisions and lead the team to score points, regardless of a new contract or anything like that,” Daboll said of Jones in a news conference. “That’s his job. So he must focus on continual improvement like everybody else does.” 🎯🏈
A more varied passing game should create more rushing lanes for Barkley, who will again negotiate for a long-term deal from the Giants or another suitor.
If Barkley performs well this season, the Giants may offer him a longer deal or again offer him the franchise tag, which Barkley would almost certainly reject. The team could also allow him to leave as an unrestricted free agent, opening the possibility for him to play for another team besides the Giants, who drafted him No. 2 overall pick in 2018. 📊🎈
Barkley, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, played in 16 regular season games in 2022, a significant improvement after missing 21 games from 2019 through 2021 with ankle and knee injuries after winning the offensive rookie of the year. His contract stalemate aligns with a league trend: a decreased appetite for highly paid running backs as offenses shift to a rusher-by-committee approach. 🏃🏈🚀
Barkley added Ed Perry of Creative Arts Agency to his negotiation team with Kim Miale of Roc Nation, his agent since his rookie year, to assist in contract talks with the Giants. 🤵♂️📃
Barkley didn’t speak to the news media on Wednesday but spent time after practice taking photos with fans and signing autographs in the shade.
Jones said he had not seen any change in Barkley’s demeanor despite the tense negotiations.
“He’s excited to be here,” Jones said. “He’s come to work. He’s the same leader, the same presence in the locker room, and just who he is and how important the team is to him. He understands his role in it, and how impactful he can be on other guys.”
So, Barkley and the Giants are back to business as they agree on this one-year contract. The future lies ahead, but for now, they will concentrate on the present and see how things unfold. 🏈🤝🌟
