However, it now appears that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-saquon-barkley-gets-brutally-honest-on-new-york-future-after-eagles-drubbing" rel="noopener">if the Giants</a> want to retain Barkely, they’ll have to be willing to pay.</p><p>When Barkley was asked about his free agent asking price, he was modest and acknowledged that his two injuries would hold him back from elite money. Yet, when the Giants offered Barkley $12 million a year, New York General Manager Joe Schoen said the two sides weren’t close to a deal, via Fox Sports Ralph Vacchiano. What Barkley is actually looking for is now a bit clearer and it looks <a href="https://twitter.com/RalphVacchiano/status/1617582378607689730" rel="noopener">eerily similar</a> to another Pro Bowl running back’s contract.</p><p>“Barkley said yesterday he didn’t necessarily want to set the market,” Vacchiano wrote. “Though I continue to hear he wants near Christian McCaffrey’s $16M average.”</p><p>Christian McCaffrey signed a four-year, $64 million deal while he was still a member of the Carolina Panthers. His average salary is slightly north of $16 million. McCaffrey’s base salary alone of $11.8 million is the highest in the NFL. Getting McCaffrey money would reset the market, as he is the highest paid RB in the league.</p><p>Saquon Barkley has had an impressive 2022, rushing 295 times for 1,312 yards and 10 touchdowns. He started 16 games, appearing healthier than he has in past seasons.</p><p>Barkley is looking to cash-in on his strong 2022. If the Giants want to re-sign him, they must make him one of the highest paid running backs in the league. If they don’t, another team may look to make Barkley the focal point of their offense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Everyone wants to know what will happen with Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-saquon-barkley-realistic-take-upcoming-free-agency" rel="noopener">contract extensions</a>, and general manager Joe Schoen certainly is aware of this.</p><p>Jones and Barkley both could be set for free agency this offseason if they don’t manage to land an extension from the Giants, which would be a big blow for the team. Both guys had really good 2022 campaigns, and appear set to lead the offense to new heights if they end up sticking around for the future. But Schoen offered an <a href="https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1617571112908472343" rel="noopener">honest take</a> on the possibility of extending both of these guys that will surely catch the attention of Giants fans everywhere.</p><p>Via Ari Meirov:</p><p>“Giants GM Joe Schoen admits they have some difficult offseason decisions to make, but says they would like to bring back Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley. He says they weren’t close to a deal with Barkley when they discussed a deal in-season. Talks were tabled to the offseason.”</p><p>This certainly isn’t any sort of wildly encouraging update that Giants fans were likely hoping for, but at least it’s good to see the intent is there. New York will have the opportunity to place the franchise tag on one of these guys, but there’s a decent chance that the other player who doesn’t get the tag will hit the open market, which is very concerning. The Giants have their work cut out for them when it comes to keeping both Jones and Barkley in town, and it will be interesting to see whether or not they will be able to pull it off.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-brian-daboll-final-message-daniel-jones-new-york-rough-loss-eagles" rel="noopener">the pain for the Giants</a> players and fan base is still fresh, the focus will soon shift to what’s expected to be a busy offseason in the Big Apple. Saquon Barkley is right up there amongst the team’s biggest priorities.</p><p>On the final year of his contract, Barkley finished the season with 1,312 rushing yards, the most in his career and lightyears beyond any of his previous totals since his rookie season.</p><p>“I wanted to show them the guy they drafted is still here. I hope I did that,” Saquon Barkley said to reporters after the game.</p><p>Just after the Giants’ Divisional Round loss, Barkley was asked about what the future holds for him ahead of free agency. He did express his desire to stay in New York, but couldn’t commit to it 100 percent for obvious reasons.</p><p>“Everyone knows I would love to be a Giant for life, but I really can’t give 100% answers. Sometime this week, I’ll have a conversation with my agent Kim and see what’s up,” the star running back continued.</p><p>The Giants will need to whip out the check book to pay Barkley while also rewarding other offensive threats in quarterback Daniel Jones and wide receivers Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton, among others. But if Saquon could have it his way and the money was right, he’d be on board to return.</p><p>“I can’t envision that being my last time in a <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Giants?src=hashtag_click">#Giants</a> uniform.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Not too long ago, that seemed impossible. The Minnesota Vikings found out the hard way that Jones has improved his game significantly as the Giants defeated them in the Wild Card round 31-24.</p><p>The Vikings looked helpless to stop Jones. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-qb-daniel-jones-epic-game-vs-vikings-reaches-heights-tom-brady-no-qb-ever-has-in-postseason" rel="noopener">historic performance</a> he put on in his playoff debut saw him throw for 301 yards (while completing 24 of his 35 passing attempts) and two touchdowns while rushing for 78 yards. He didn’t commit a single turnover, had a rushing touchdown wiped out by a penalty and out-rushed Minnesota in the huge victory.</p><p>Saquon Barkley, who had 109 yards from scrimmage and two rushing touchdowns, talked all about <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35456658/giants-laud-jones-victory" rel="noopener">how outstanding Jones has been this season</a>, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.</p><p>“I know we have an elite quarterback,” Barkley said, via ESPN. “He’s shown that multiple times.”</p><p>Jones’ mobility made him very hard to contain and his passing efficiency allowed him to continue moving the chains without having to resort to big plays. This season has been a refreshing change for Jones, who has become more of a game manager while leaning into his rushing abilities. When the Giants clinched their playoff berth, it was Jones who had a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-he-was-ballin-saquon-barkley-hype-reaction-to-giants-qb-daniel-jones-clutch-performance-vs-colts" rel="noopener">stellar game</a>.</p><p>“It’s a big win for us and grateful to be a part of it,” Daniel Jones said of the playoff win. The Giants will now face the Philadelphia Eagles in the Divisional Round.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
