Adler to extend Saquon Barkley

March 7: In his second Eagles contract, Barkley will record a complete guaranteed 36 -MIO -US dollar, adds Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk. The complete guarantees cover Barkleys 2025 and ’26 basic salaries and two more loft -more option bonuses. Barkleys 2025 option bonus checks at 15.08 mm, its ’26 bonus for 15.45 mm. From Barkleys 2027 Option Bonus ($ 14.41 mm), USD is fully guaranteed. A squad bonus of 1 mm US dollar is due on day 3 of the 2028 league year. Barkley did not have a cap over $ 10 million until 2027, but the Eagles would not see any caps from a publication due to this contract structure, which also includes four hollow years, until 2028.

Since the recent contract structure of the Eagles is available here, these are also additional incentives. Transfer 250,000 US dollars over 1,500 Scrimmage Yards Barkley, whereby this number is increased to 500,000 US dollars if it reaches 2,000, according to Florio. The same structure is available for all-pro ceremonies of the first and second team, with an appearance of the first team increasing to $ 500,000. A rushing season of 1,000 meters and an Eagles NFC championship earn $ 250,000, with a rushing year of 1,000 meters plus another super bowl title increasing to $ 500,000.

March 4: Saquon Barkley During his debut campaign with the Eagles, I enjoyed one of the most productive running back season in the NFL story. This has led to a new contract and an accompanying increase.

Barkley has approved a two -year extension worth $ 41.2 million, reports Adam Schefter von ESPN. Two years stayed before this news in the offensive player of the year of the year, but his income will increase considerably. Barkley is now not only the best paid league in relation to the annual remuneration, but is also the first to sign a contract with an AAV over $ 20 million.

As part of the financial revival of the Running Back Market in the last low season Barkley, a three -year deal with $ 37.75 million. The average of $ 12.58 million of this pact brought the former giant in the Hack order of the position to third place and its guarantees of $ 26 million for a large investment on the part of the Eagles. However, Barkley proved to be a rewarding signing and an even greater obligation was pursued. Schefter notes that this latest offer contains $ 36 million that are locked up when signing, as well as additional 15 -MIO -US dollars of incentives and escalators.

It will be interesting to see the structure of this new contract. Barkley was to wear a cap of only $ 7.36 million in 2025, a number that could increase depending on the payment of its new compensation. However, if a large part of its guaranteed money takes place in the form of a signature bonus, the additional CAP fees could be distributed over time (especially if cavities are used, which was the case when it signed in the last spring). Just like the 49s last summer Christian McCaffreyWith a new and lucrative investment, the Eagles will advance in a veteran back after seeing how he acted as the center of her offensive.

Barkley hurried for 2,005 yards in 2024, although he rested for the regular season finals of the Eagles. This number was sufficient to break the rushing record of the franchise season, and his 2,283 Scrimmage Yards for the regular season took 13th place in NFL history. When considering the edition of the 28-year-old in the playoffs, his 2,504 yards on site represent a record for the combined regular and native-sowing production.

The Eagles count that Barkley can reproduce this level of success if he tries to defend her super bowl title. The team already has an offensive with a quarterback (Jalen hurts) two receivers (AJ Brown, Devonta Smith) and a tight end (Dallas Goedert) near their respective markets in their current offers. Philadelphia also has a number of remarkable obligations along the offensive line. The team’s financial planning will now take into account a large Barkley increase in the coming years.

The running back market has stayed behind the other positions for a long time. 2024 recovered to a certain extent, and McCafreys Pact (an average of $ 19 million per year) has now been exceeded. Whether this Barkley deal represents a turning point from a financial point of view or not will be an interesting storyline of the league that follows.
