The 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, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly made Saquon Barkley the NFL’s highest-paid running back in history, according to multiple media outlets.
Eric Dickerson has held the single-season rushing record for over four decades now—and he wasn't cheering for Saquon Barkley to break it.
The two-year deal will have an average annual value of more than $20 million, a league source says. The extension will make Barkley the highest-paid running back on a yearly basis in NFL history.
