[Rapoport] The #Giants and star RB Saquon Barkley agreed to terms on a new 1-year deal worth up to $11M, sources say, as Barkley gives himself a chance to beat the franchise tag.

I agree. FT is 10M and forces the Giants into a contract or retag (at a price hike) next year. Now they can just tag him next year for the same price and he’s back to square one, but with one more year of mileage. And I guess 1M more dollars (assuming he hits every incentive).
