NFL fans rip NY Giants after Saquon Barkley refuses to sign franchise tender - “Daniel Jones is his QB I don’t blame him”

Saquon Barkley was placed under the franchise tag by the New York Giants, but weeks before the 2023 NFL Draft, the star running back has refused to sign the tender.This has given rise to speculation that Barkley could be on his way out of New York if a deal doesn't get negotiated soon. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones signed a massive extension this offseason, and the franchise also wants to keep Barkley.After the news about Barkley broke, fans on social media clowned the franchise and claimed that they had overpaid Jones.

Daniel Jones did have the best season of his career, but Barkley played a huge role in it.The Giants ended up winning a playoff game, which was a big achievement considering the expectations set for them at the start of the season. However, all of that could be of no use if Barkley ends up leaving.Saquon Barkley will be pursued by many teams if he becomes availableSaquon Barkley: Denver Broncos v New York GiantsIf Barkley does end up requesting a trade from the Giants, many teams will be in pursuit of him. Teams like the Buffalo Bills and the New England Patriots would love to have him as he could become a difference-maker.Last season, the Giants running back didn't miss a game, had 295 carries for 1,312 yards, and scored 10 touchdowns in 16 games. He also had 57 receptions for 338 receiving yards.Replacing Barkley will be difficult as there are not many other players in the draft or in the league who could end up having a similar impact to the former Penn State player.However, if the Giants want to be aggressive in the draft, they could end up drafting Bijan Robinson from Texas and trade away Barkley to get back some assets. A move like that is unlikely, but anything can happen when it comes to teams in New York.
