Daniel Jones had the best performance of his career last season, and the New York Giants rewarded him with a long-term contract extension.

But star running back Saquon Barkley has yet to come to an agreement with the Giants and has yet to appear at the team's offseason workouts.

Jones took the practice field Wednesday and threw passes to several receivers, but having Barkley as a weapon brings a different element to the Giants' offense.

Barkley was named the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2018 and is a two-time Pro Bowl selection. He led the Giants in scrimmage yards and touchdowns last season.

He has also provided some much-needed stability for his 25-year-old quarterback.

Barkley decided not to sign a franchise tag, meaning he will not be penalized if he is a no-show for mandatory minicamp, which begins in June.

But Jones is hopeful Barkley will be on the Giants roster once the 2023 season kicks off.

"Saquon has been a very important part of what we’ve done here, and he’s a tremendous part of this offense," Jones said. "I hope they can get something done."
