New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley is reportedly not much - if any - closer on landing a long-term contract extension than he was when the team placed the franchise tag on him this spring, according to FOX Sports' Ralph Vacchiano. "Listen, Saquon is a very good football player, captain last year, he's a good locker room guy, I love him. We want him to be here. But you've got to have a deal where both parties are happy with where you end up," general manager Joe Schoen said in an interview on NFL Network last week.
Huddle Up: Barkley reportedly did not accept a contract offer worth $12.5 million per year during the team's bye week last season and is scheduled to play under the $10.1 million franchise tag in 2023 if extension talks continue to stall. The Giants drafted Eric Gray in the fifth round last month, perhaps with one eye on having a young and able body on the roster next season should Barkley go elsewhere. So long as Barkley plays on the tag in 2023, he should be considered a solid first-round draft choice in most leagues.

Oklahoma RB Eric Gray was selected by the New York Giants with the 172nd overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Saquon Barkley will continue to receive most of the work at running back for the Giants, so Gray likely will not see much playing time early in his career. He can be avoided in leagues for now.

Tennessee WR Jalin Hyatt was selected by the New York Giants with the 73rd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Voted the top collegiate receiver in the country last year, Hyatt was a constant big-play threat. The Giants need explosive playmakers at the receiver position, and Hyatt should have a chance to make plays early.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen said he has not spoken with RB Saquon Barkley regarding a contract extension in three or four weeks. The team recently placed the franchise tag on him but he has not signed the tender for $10.1 million, which makes him ineligible to participate in offseason workouts.
Huddle Up: Assuming that he stays healthy, Barkley should be viewed as an elite RB1 option in PPR fantasy leagues, with extra motivation to perform well heading into a contract year.

New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley doesn't plan to sign his franchise tender before the team's offseason workouts, which makes him ineligible to participate.
Huddle Up: Barkley will be an elite RB1 in PPR leagues and will be plenty motivated in a contract year.

Free-agent WR Parris Campbell (Colts) is signing with the New York Giants, according to a source Thursday, March 16. Financial terms of the contract were not immediately disclosed.
Huddle Up: Campbell figures to slide right into the starting slot role, especially with Wan'Dale Robinson recovering from ACL reconstruction surgery. He's a WR3 with slight upside if the Giants don't add more to the room this offseason.

Las Vegas Raiders TE Darren Waller will be traded to the New York Giants in exchange for a 2023 third-round draft choice, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see who will start at tight end for the Raiders next season, but the player probably will be a No. 2 tight end in most fantasy leagues.

Free-agent WR Sterling Shepard (Giants) is expected to reach an agreement with the New York Giants, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Shepard has struggled with injuries over the last few seasons but likely will have a role in the passing game next season. He can be a possible late round option in fantasy drafts but probably will not be a starting option most weeks.

New York Giants impending free-agent WR Darius Slayton is a player the Giants are interested in re-signing depending on the asking price.
Huddle Up: Slayton showed a good connection with Daniel Jones at times this season but may receive interest from multiple teams if he reaches the free-agent market. He may not be a weekly starting fantasy option next season but can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in leagues.

Impending free-agent QB Daniel Jones (Giants) reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension worth $160 million with the New York Giants on Tuesday, March 7. The deal also reportedly includes $35 million worth of incentives.
Huddle Up: The deal will probably be backloaded and give the Giants an out after two years. Jones thrived in his first season under the tutelage of head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, cutting down his turnovers in a big way and consistently showing off his dual-threat ability. Still, it is hard to justify this kind of contract for a quarterback who has never passed for more than 3,205 yards or 24 touchdowns. Nevertheless, his dual-threat ability and Daboll's presence gives him a real chance to be a low-end fantasy QB1 again in 2023.

Impending free-agent RB Saquon Barkley (Giants) received the franchise tag from the New York Giants, according to a source Tuesday, March 7. The value of the franchise tag is $10.1 million for the 2023 season.
Huddle Up: Barkley could still get a contract extension, and this move gives the Giants time to work on that with the deadline coming in July. He also won't hit free agency because of the tag being applied. Barkley is a strong RB1 moving forward.

New York Giants impending free-agent RB Saquon Barkley had a positive meeting with the Giants Monday, March 6, according to sources. The two sides hope to reach an agreement in the near future.
Huddle Up: It looks like the Giants will tag Daniel Jones, so they will have about a week to work on a contract with Barkley before he hits the free-agent market. Barkley will be a starter no matter where he plays in 2023 and will be a weekly starting option in all leagues.

New York Giants impending free-agent RB Saquon Barkley is not close to an agreement with the Giants at this point. He could receive the franchise tag if the team is able to sign impending free-agent QB Daniel Jones to a long-term contract.
Huddle Up: It looks like there is a chance that Barkley will hit the free-agent market, so fantasy players should monitor the situation over the next week or two. He will start no matter where he plays next season and will be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.

New York Giants impending free-agent QB Daniel Jones will receive the franchise tag if the two sides are not able to reach a long-term contract by Tuesday, March 7.
Huddle Up: The two sides have been working on a contract, but it is believed that Jones is looking for around $45 million per season. He will be with the team for at least one more season but probably will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in most leagues.

New York Giants impending free-agent QB Daniel Jones has been offered between $35 million and $39 million per season in contract talks with the Giants, according to sources.
Huddle Up: It seems like Jones and the Giants are making progress in contract talks, so fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation over the next few days. Jones is coming off one of his best seasons in the NFL but probably will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in most leagues.

Impending free-agent QB Daniel Jones (Giants) and the New York Giants are reportedly making progress toward ironing out a long-term extension, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Some of the reports on what Jones is asking for on a per-year basis are borderline ridiculous, somewhere in the $45 million range. It is more likely he settles into the $35-40 million range and agrees to numerous incentives instead. Either way, New York's ability to wrap up Jones' extension before next Tuesday's deadline is important if only because it would allow the Giants to put the franchise tag on Saquon Barkley and keep both players around. Stay tuned.

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones is seeking a contract that pays him more than what the team is comfortable with and is heading for a franchise tag, ESPN's Dianna Russini reported on Tuesday, Feb. 28.
Huddle Up: This report comes on the heels of general manager Joe Schoen saying he had "no doubt" that Jones will be the starter in 2023. Jones is reportedly looking for a deal that pays him $45 million annually, while the Giants are likely more comfortable paying him close to what the franchise tag is, which is $32.4 million. New York prefers to avoid the franchise tag, as it would eat up the majority of the team's $46.8 million in cap space, but the Giants may have no other choice but to use it with both sides being so far apart. Jones was a solid QB2 in 2022 but has QB1 potential if he can get a better supporting cast.

Updating a previous report, the New York Giants are working on a long-term deal for QB Daniel Jones, who also is a candidate for the franchise tag.

New York Giants impeding free-agent QB Daniel Jones is likely to see the franchise tag, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Jones has switched agencies, and a source said Jones wants more than the Giants are willing to offer - possibly as much as $45 million a year. The team could franchise tag him, which would cost $32.416 million, and another team could sign him for two first-round draft picks. Jones is a QB2 in fantasy regardless.

New York Giants WR Isaiah Hodgins re-signed with the team on a one-year deal on Thursday, Feb. 16. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Hodgins was an exclusive rights free agent, so this was to be expected. The 24-year old made a name for himself in New York in 2022, as he proved to be a reliable target in a passing attack that seriously lacked weapons. While he didn't post gaudy yardage totals, he did find the end zone four times in his last five games, and he posted a 100-yard, one-touchdown performance in the playoffs against the Minnesota Vikings. Unfortunately for Hodgins, the Giants are expected to add plenty of new weapons in 2023, which will push him down the depth chart and might make him irrelevant. He's worth taking a flyer on in 2023, but chances are he won't return much value, barring injury.

New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard officially became a free agent on Wednesday, Feb. 15, due to a clause in his contract that voids it three days after the Super Bowl. The veteran wideout will cost the Giants $4.3 million in dead money in 2023.
Huddle Up: Shepard has flashed promise during his career and has been a flex option from time to time, but he has simply been unable to stay healthy since 2019, as he's missed a total of 34 games in that span, including 24 over the last two years. Making matters worse, he's coming off two serious leg injuries in a row after suffering a torn Achilles in 2021 and a torn ACL in 2022. Once healthy, Shepard will likely land somewhere but is unlikely to have any fantasy value.

The New York Giants and QB Daniel Jones have started talking about a contract extension, head coach Brian Daboll revealed on Thursday, Feb. 9.
Huddle Up: Both sides are interested in a reunion, but at what price remains to be seen. Some estimates have Jones making around $35 million per year in a new deal. If the Giants and Jones can't come to an agreement, Big Blue has the option to use the franchise tag. All signs point to Jones returning to New York in 2023, and he'll do so with QB1 potential if the Giants can give him some weapons in the passing game.

New York Giants LB Kayvon Thibodeaux recorded three sacks in his final four games, and he led all rookies in pass rush win rate in 2022.
Huddle Up: Thibodeaux was battling a knee issue to start his rookie campaign, but he flashed his upside late in the year. He could be a sneaky IDP option next year in leagues that value sacks.

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones is expected to have discussions about a long-term contract with the team, and SNY's Connor Hughes reports a "fair" average expected annual value for Daniel Jones is $35-37 million per season.
Huddle Up: Hughes stated he talked to a few executives at the Senior Bowl to arrive at those numbers. Jones unquestionably had his finest year in four seasons as a pro in 2022, but it makes zero sense for the team to pay that much over multiple years for a player who has yet to throw for more than 24 touchdowns in a season (2019) or 3,205 yards (2022). What seems certain at this point is that New York is interested in retaining his services. If that happens, he should be considered a decent QB2 option in fantasy in 2023.

New York Giants impending free-agent QB Daniel Jones is not expected to be candidate for the franchise tag this offseason because the team would rather sign him to a multi-year extension, according to The Athletic's Jeff Howe.
Huddle Up: Jones is coming off a good 2022 season and probably will be the start for the Giants for the next few seasons. He probably will be considered a No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues next season.

New York Giants impending free-agent RB Saquon Barkley had contract talks with the Giants last week and is expected to have more conversations with the team next week, according to general manager Joe Schoen.
Huddle Up: It seems like Barkley probably will be with the Giants for at least one more season, but it is not known if the two sides will be able to agree on a multi-year deal. Barkley had a bounce back season in 2022 and should be a No. 1 running back in most fantasy leagues.

New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley is reportedly seeking a new contract in the same range as the four-year, $64 million deal that Christian McCaffrey signed with the Carolina Panthers in 2020.
Huddle Up: If recent history has taught us anything, it is that signing running backs to second contracts typically does not work out well for the team. McCaffrey and Barkley might be two examples of running backs who are special enough that the same logic does not apply to them. It seems unlikely Barkley will get the contract he is supposedly seeking, but it would not be a surprise at all if he ends up getting paid like a top-five back. The bigger question remains if that contract will come from the Giants or someone else.

New York Giants impending free-agent RB Saquon Barkley said he is not expecting to set the running back market this offseason with his next contract. He does not believe the Divisional Round playoff game was his last with the Giants.
Huddle Up: Barkley likely will remain with the Giants either with a new contract or the franchise tag. He had a bounce back season in 2022 and has returned as a valuable fantasy option in all leagues. He should be a No. 1 fantasy back in leagues next season.
