”EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Running back Saquon Barkley is hoping for a new long-term deal from the New York Giants but isn't insistent on topping Christian McCaffrey's $16 million per year salary.
Barkley, 25, just played out the fifth-year option in his rookie contract and set a career high with 1,312 rushing yards while remaining healthy the entire season.
"I'm not really too concerned about resetting any [running back] markets or anything like that," he said Sunday, when the Giants cleaned out their lockers following a 38-7 loss in the division round against the Philadelphia Eagles the previous night. "I'm realistic."
What exactly that means is that Barkley is looking for his deal to fall somewhere in between the $11 million he would get on the franchise tag and the $16 million McCaffrey got when he signed in April 2020. It would seem likely to land closer to McCaffrey's deal than the franchise tag.”
And,
”I know what I was on pace to do," he said. "But having two years filled up with injuries and having a season not performing to the level I know I can perform doesn't help. But I think I was able to show the type of caliber a player I am, the things I am able to do on a football field. That is something I wanted to do. That was my goal. I was able to accomplish that."

Confident, yet humble. Also realistic and motivated. What one expects from Penn State.
I hate us.
