The New York Giants have franchise tagged running back Saquon Barkley after beating the clock and signing quarterback Daniel Jones to a four-year deal. 

This has always been the ideal plan for the Giants, who were hoping to lock in Jones long-term and franchise tag Barkley so they can continue negotiating on a possible extension for him as well.
