The Giants officially reported on Wednesday that everyone knew that when they were hoping for a full return to health after reconstituted knee surgery, they had a chance to exercise the fifth-year option on Saquon Barclay Was about to meet.
This means that Barclay is contractually closed for the next two seasons. He will earn $ 7.2 million in 2022, a deal fully guaranteed.
Barclay, 24, was No. 2 in the 2018 NFL Draft and was named NFL of the Year Offensive Rookie after rushing for 1,307 yards and caught 91 passes. He missed time with a high ankle sprain in 2019 and went for 1,003 yards, becoming the first player in veteran history to rush for at least 1,000 yards in his first two seasons. He did not pull out of the second game of the 2020 season, going down and out with a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus at a loss in Chicago.
Barclay underwent surgery and is on time in his rehabilitation to make his return for the start of the 2021 season.
