Saquon Barkley’s free agency: 5 landing spots for Pro Bowl RB
NEW YORK (BVM) – Saquon Barkley has proven to be one of the NFL’s most dynamic running backs when healthy over the last six years with the New York Giants. However, it’s possible Barkley’s time in New York could be coming to an end.
Barkley is likely to hit free agency this offseason following recent reports that the Giants are unlikely to franchise tag the star running back. While they still could look to give Barkley a new deal, he is certain to draw interest from several other teams as part of a strong group of free agents at his position.
The Giants will speak with free-agent-to-be running back Saquon Barkley and explore a deal with him, but they are also unlikely to tag him for $12,109,200, per sources. https://t.co/ektTdtZSaH pic.twitter.com/PspdR7W0V3

Barkley burst onto the scene as the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2018 and has become a two-time Pro Bowl selection with the Giants. Although injuries have limited him at times, Barkley has put together three 1,000-yard seasons and has over 5,000 rushing yards in his career in addition to 2,100 yards receiving.
Despite being 27 years old, the game-changing ability Barkley has thanks to his mix of explosive speed and physicality should be highly coveted around the league this offseason. Here are five teams Barkley could land with in free agency.
