Ian Rapoport, an insider for NFL Network, has confirmed that the Giants and Barkley are now in "back on" conversations.

Although Barkley previously suggested that he could skip training camp, he hasn't been completely clear about his plans for the 2023 campaign.

It's still unclear how the talks will turn out and whether a deal will be struck.

Barkley might return to the Giants on a fully guaranteed one-year deal, but securing a long-term deal is the major priority.

Barkley will currently wear the franchise tag for the 2023 NFL season, with free agency looming after.

A crucial element of the negotiations is Barkley's desire for long-term security.

The scenario will develop in due course, and Barkley would accomplish a great lot if he could land a good long-term agreement.
