Giants to discuss extensions with QB Daniel Jones, RB Saquon Barkley
The New York Giants will discuss contract extensions for Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley during their bye week.
"We'll have those meetings this week," general manager Joe Schoen confirmed Tuesday.
Both players have come a long way this year given their struggles and injury history. Jones, 25, was a first-round pick (sixth overall) in 2019 and has completed 63.1 percent of his passes this season for 1,399 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions in eight starts. Barkley, 25, was a first-rounder (second overall) in 2018 and currently is second in the NFL with 779 rushing yards. He has five rushing touchdowns and 28 catches for 189 yards in eight games, the story said.
