The New York Giants will attempt to re-sign Saquon Barkley, but they likely will not use the franchise tag on him.

The franchise tag for Barkley is worth $12,109,200.

During the 2023 season, Barkley had 247 carries for 962 yards and six touchdowns to go with 41 receptions for another 280 yards and four touchdowns.

Kadarius Toney said Monday night that his profanity-filled rant on social media wasn't directed at the Kansas City Chiefs and instead was directed at fans of the team that drafted him, the New York Giants.

In an Instagram Live post on the Sunday of the AFC Championship Game, Toney said, "I'm not hurt. None of that." His comments were interpreted as him saying he didn't have the hip and ankle injuries the Chiefs had listed for him on their weekly injury reports.

Toney clarified that that wasn't the case. He told NFL Network that he got interrupted by comments on his feed that day and that when the video was released it was "chopped up," making it seem like "I was attacking doing what I love the most."

"I never attacked the Chiefs, never said anything about the Chiefs. Who I was referring to was the Giants fans and the people in my comments, my comment box, not even on my live recording, so you wouldn't even know they were there. But I was referring to them, which I shouldn't have. I just wanted to go out there. I just wanted to get my message across as far as my injury, but I shouldn't have did that at the end of the day. I'm a man and I can accept my mistakes just like I accept my wins. I'm just moving past that right now. We're trying to go out and trying to win [the Super Bowl]," the wide receiver said.

The New York Giants plan to hire Shane Bowen as their defensive coordinator, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday.

Bowen had been the Tennessee Titans' defensive coordinator since 2021 on Mike Vrabel's staff. Vrabel was fired after the season and replaced by Brian Callahan.

Bowen replaces Wink Martindale, who mutually parted ways with the Giants after the season.
