Saquon Barkley and the New York Giants have surprisingly come to terms on a new deal, which means the running back will make himself available for training camp this week.

According to the NFL Network (H/T ESPN), Barkley has accepted a one-year contract worth $11 million that includes a $2 million signing bonus.

The deal is worth $10.1 million of fully guaranteed money, per Adam Schefter, while the RB has an opportunity to earn another $1 million by recording 1,300 rushing yards, 65 receptions, and 11 touchdowns.

While Saquon Barkley did get $1 million worth of incentives added to his deal, Saquon Barkley did not get a “no franchise tag” clause, meaning the Giants can tag him again after this season, per source. https://t.co/uJdWQY6eH8

However, it does not include a “no franchise tag” clause, so the Giants can tag him again at the end of the season should they desire.

Speaking on ‘The Money Matters’ podcast last week, Barkley hinted that he could sit out the entire season after failing to reach a deal with NY before the deadline for franchise-tagged players to agree to long-term contracts.
