Well deserved reward for the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year.
The Philadelphia Eagles have a lot of important contract decisions to make this offseason but here’s one that was unexpected: a new deal for Saquon Barkley.
The Eagles are signing the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year to a contract extension that runs through the 2028 season, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.
Eagles are rewarding Saquon Barkley with a two-year, $41.2 million contract extension that makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history, per sources. The deal makes Barkley the NFL’s first $20 million+ per-year running back. Barkley also has the ability to earn an additional $15 million in incentives and escalators. The deal includes $36 million fully guaranteed at signing. The Eagles are taking the rare step of extending Barkley one year into his three-year deal – and in the same league year in which they signed him to the initial contract.
