The Philadelphia Eagles are rewarding Saquon Barkley with a historic contract extension after Barkley had a historic first season with the Eagles.
On Tuesday, the Eagles signed Barkley to a two-year, $41.2 million contract extension that makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history.
Barkley became just the ninth running back to rush for over 2,000 yards, as he ran for 2,005 yards before sitting out the final game of the regular season. He then had big performances in the postseason, which finished with him lifting the Lombardi Trophy with his teammates.Â
Barkley celebrated his new deal by posting a message to his agent, Ed Berry. All he needed was two emojis to show his appreciation for the deal getting done.
The Eagles now have Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson and Saquon Barkley under contract until at least 2029.
