Report: Saquon Barkley Signs Two-Year Extension With The Philadelphia Eagles
Former Penn State football running back Saquon Barkley reportedly signed a contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles on a two-year, $41.2 million contract, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter. Barkley reportedly agreed to a contract that could be worth up to $56.2 million with $36 million guaranteed.
This extension comes after Barkley helped the Eagles win their second Super Bowl and makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history. Barkley had a historic first season with the Eagles as he ran for 2,005 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns. He also hauled in 33 receptions for 278 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
In the process, he became the ninth running back in NFL history to surpass 2,000 rushing yards. He also became the first Penn Stater to win the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year award.
Barkley, a Pennsylvania native, played for the Nittany Lions from 2015 to 2017. During his time at Penn State, he established himself as one of the best running backs in Penn State history. Barkley finished his Penn State career as its all-time rushing touchdown and total touchdown leader before being drafted at No. 2 overall by the New York Giants in the 2018 NFL draft.
