Saquon Barkley ended his sixth season with the New York Giants in a very productive way, scoring two touchdowns in a win over the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Whether Barkley will be with the Giants for a seventh season is the big question — the same one that circled the No. 2 overall pick from 2018 this past offseason. 

The Giants decided to franchise tag Barkley after negotiations for a long-term extension fell through. Barkley was quite transparent about the situation, saying he fully understood how the business of the NFL worked now that he had to deal with it firsthand along with other running backs that didn’t see extensions come their way in a market for the position.

As Barkley heads into the offseason, he knows the Giants can franchise tag him yet again if an extension isn’t met. But after experiencing what happened last offseason — Barkley and the Giants eventually agreed to a modified tag with extra incentives before training camp began — he said he’s "numb" to the situation if it arises again. 

"I went through the whole process last year," Barkley said. "We talked more than enough last year, to be honest. I’m gonna let my agents handle that."

"They did it last year. So I’m numb to it. I don’t have any feelings toward that at all," Barkley continued. "If you’re going to do it, just don’t wait until March 5. Just get it over with. If not, let me go. Simple."
