Saquon Barkley Becomes NFL's Highest-Paid Running Back with $41.2M Eagles Extension

The Philadelphia Eagles rewarded Barkley after his record-breaking season and Super Bowl win with a historic two-year deal.

Saquon Barkley signed a two-year, $41.2 million contract extension with the Eagles, making him the first NFL running back to earn over $20 million annually.
The deal includes $36 million guaranteed and up to $15 million in performance-based incentives.
Barkley's 2024 season featured 2,504 rushing yards across the regular season and playoffs, breaking Terrell Davis' single-season record.
The running back played a pivotal role in leading the Eagles to a Super Bowl LIX victory, earning Offensive Player of the Year honors.
This extension comes just one year after Barkley joined the Eagles on a three-year deal following six seasons with the New York Giants.
