The New York Giants beat the franchise tag deadline to seal a long-term deal with Daniel Jones. They reached an agreement on a four-year, $160 million deal with their franchise quarterback minutes before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline passed. Since the Giants were able to make a deal with Jones, New York placed the franchise tag on Saquon Barkley, giving the running back a guaranteed $10.091 million in 2023. The Giants now have until July 17 to work out a long-term deal with Barkley. The Giants are depending on Jones and Barkley as franchise players, while trying to build a good roster around them after making it to the divisional playoff round last season. New York is again seeking a playoff run with these two important players in 2023. The Giants hope they made a good decision on this deal, but only time will tell.
