S Barkley signs 1 year deal

[Mr.Peabody]

@DBend144

His previous offer was basically the franchise tag for 2 years with incentives. It was
2 years 26m and 19.5 guaranteed.

Franchise tag would have been $10m this year and ~$12m next year. Or a
2 year 22.4m all Guaranteed contract.

So unless saquan gets a $15m contract with $11m guaranteed next year, he will be making less than the franchise tag AND the initial offer.

The way he worked it out the Giants have to pay him $13M or let him hit the open market.

He’s betting on himself, which I respect, but Barkley has made 50+ mill in his career already after this new deal.

He aint standing up for 99 percent of RB’s, he is just taken care of himself. His situation is far different from most RB’s

I think he took the best path considering what his options are. The only alternative would be to sign the franchise tag and fake an injury.
