But it turns out Barkley had better offers before agreeing to his three-year, $37.75 million contract with the Eagles. According to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, Barkley turned down “at least two” bigger offers before signing with Philadelphia.

Barkley’s contract includes an $11,625,000 signing bonus, $26,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $12,583,333. In 2025, Barkley will earn a base salary of $1,170,000 and a signing bonus of $9,830,000, while carrying a cap hit of $6,561,000 and a dead cap value of $20,700,000.

Saquon Barkley is already in the record books thanks to his illustrious debut for the Philadelphia Eagles, becoming just the ninth player in NFL history to eclipse 2,000 rushing yards in a season this year.

Former Penn State running back Saquon Barkley is having a career year in his first season with the Philadelphia Eagles, becoming just the ninth player in NFL history to amass 2,000 rushing yards in a season.
