BREAKING: AFC’s Hottest Team Plotting a Jaw-Dropping Move for Giants’ Star – Insider QB Spills the Beans

New Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh knows what he wants.

Less than three weeks after leading Michigan to its first national title since 1997, he was named the head coach of the Chargers. Now, it’s being said that he has his eyes set on Giants running back Saquon Barkley.

 

On the NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” on Friday, Ryan Leaf, who was Harbaugh’s teammate with the Chargers in 1999 and 2000, said that the head coach wants the two-time Pro-Bowler on his team.

“This is one thing too in terms of what (Jim Harbaugh) wants to do offensively,” Leaf said. “Austin Ekeler’s a big part of what that could be with them running the football. But I do think that Saquon Barkley is going to be at the top of his list in terms of what he wants to do with the running back position with him being a free agent.

“I think (the Giants) can franchise-tag him again (but) it’s a lot of money… but it’s something I know that Jim Harbaugh wants to do. He wants to run the football and he wants to use those guys down the field with play-action.”
Barkley could become a free agent if the Giants don’t place the franchise tag on him. Another tag would cost New York 120% more than his 2023 contract of $10.1 million — which would be about $12 million. Barkley will be 27 years old next season and he was already unhappy with negotiations last offseason. 

Barkley indicated that he isn’t looking forward to contract negotiations again this offseason after the Giants season ended, telling reporters that he wishes the team would decide what they’re going to do with him as soon as possible.

“I feel like, I went through the whole process last year,” Barkley said, via Pat Leonard of The New York Daily News. “We talked more than enough last year, to be honest. Not just talking with Joe (Schoen), but the whole negotiation thing, I’m going to let my agents handle that.”
