There's a very good chance Saquon Barkley is leaving the Big Apple…

Because after this weekend, the final weekend of the NFL regular season, the New York Giants' superstar running back will be standing in the exact same place he was during last offseason — except this time. Because the situation feels different. Don't take that away from me, the horse himself says so.

The Giants' 2023 campaign concludes on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Berkeley Although he is not under contract at this time, he is aware that this upcoming contest could be his last with the franchise.

Last year, Barkley and the G-Men discussed a long-term contract but were unable to reach an agreement. As a result, Barkley played under the franchise tag.

After this season, Barkley will be a free agent after six years in the league. He could be placed on the franchise tag again. But he doesn't want to go down that path and wants to stay with the Giants. (Related: Philadelphia Eagles locker room reportedly in chaos over AJ Brown and Nick Sirianni beef)

“I've said before that I want to be a Giant for the rest of my life,” Barkley reportedly explained to the media on Wednesday. ESPN. “That was my goal when I got drafted. I wanted to leave something here, but that's out of my control.”

Barkley went on to say that if he doesn't get what he wants from the Giants and the Giants don't decide to team up with him, he plans to test the free agent market.

“I just want something that's fair. … But like I said, I understand that. It's a business. If it's not here, I hope it's somewhere else.” ,” Barclay said.

“As I've said before, I want to be a Giant for the rest of my life. I wanted to leave something here, but that's out of my control. Like last year, I want to be a Giant for the rest of my life. There is no use or harm in saying it.”
