Saquon Barkley will be a free agent very soon, and several teams are interested in his services. Now, the running back has received a tempting offer to join the Dallas Cowboys, and it comes from a player he knows very well.

Last offseason, the New York Giants faced a tough decision. They could only offer a long-term contract to either Daniel Jones or Saquon Barkley, and they ultimately chose to extend the quarterback’s deal.

For this reason, they had no choice but to place the franchise tag on Barkley, who then signed a 1-year deal with the team. Now, as he’s set to become a free agent, everyone is wondering what the player will do next.
