Saquon Barkley availability for W1 will be in question if he doesn't get long-term deal from Giants

The season Barkley had last year still wasn’t as good as his rookie season.
 
The Giants might want to see if they could work out a deal with Dalvin Cook.

Who drops their price first, Cook or Zeke.

I would think it would be Zeke, he’s not coming off almost 1200 yards last season. Cook seems to have more left in the tank than Zeke but he would be another option. Barkley could end up hitting the wall this season.

Barkley very will could, but he isnt as close to the wall as Zeke, Cook would be the better fit, but as you say, Zeke will be cheaper earlier, Cook is going to test the market a bit with more confidence.

Zeke has had almost double the carries, so his tread is a lot more worn than Barkley. Although Barkley stayed healthy last season, his injury history would make me very nervous. The Giants are in a tough spot right now. They’re coming off a much better season than most expected with a playoff win and they just re-signed their QB. Not having a valuable weapon to start the season if Barkley holds out could leave them in a real pickle. I find it hard to believe that Barcley would want to pull the same stupid move as Le’Veon Bell a few years ago and sit out the season. Bell admitted he made a mistake, and it ended up ruining the rest of his career. He never got the money he was looking for and basically threw away what could’ve been a Hall of Fame career in Pittsburgh.

The Dolphins will have heavy stock in Cook.
Giants will get desperate after Miami signs Cook, and they will dive in on Zeke.
Just my simple prediction, nobody has to believe me or respect my opinion.

He could be looking at the defense he'll have to face and decide sitting out the first week and blaming it on salary is the better part of valor.
 
The Giants will get a long term deal done with him but has Saquan really been as good as the media makes you think he is? In his 5 seasons Barkley has been good for two seasons. His rookie year and last season. Barkley is not the number 1 running back in the league like Zeke Henry and CMC were when they got their deals.
