Saquon Barkley is “numb” right now, but the potential for his feelings to shift to anger lurks around the corner.

Giants general manager Joe Schoen said Monday that the possibility of using a second franchise tag on Barkley to keep him in 2024 “is a tool at our disposal.”

Barkley is hoping that the Giants either offer a “fair” multi-year contract extension or let him test free agency but learned last year that the Giants can dangle the tag — a one-year $12.1 million contract — as negotiation leverage.

“They did it last year,” Barkley said in a hushed tone. “So, I’m numb to it. I really have no feelings toward that at all. If you are going to do it, just don’t wait until March 5. Let’s get it over with. If not, let me go. Simple.”
