Daniel Jones will sign four-year extension with Giants; Saquon Barkley franchised

The Giants think he’s their franchise quarterback and say they will retain him even if they have to use the franchise tag ($32.4 million). They’ve already opened negotiations on a long-term deal, hoping to lure him back with a deal worth around $35 million per year, according to sources. But Jones, 25, is coming off a breakout season during which he dragged the Giants to the playoffs despite throwing to a terrible receiver corps. On the open market, Jones knows he’d top $40 million per year.
