The most exciting play in football right now is the Saquon Barkley home run, and it could be the difference in this year's Super Bowl. You would think going into a game against Patrick Mahomes that we would be more intrigued about his cannon for an arm,

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 and his family were all smiles yesterday after the Philadelphia Eagles secured their spot in the 2025 Super Bowl, and — per usual — Barkley and his daughter were seen grinning well before kick-off.

So yeah, Barkley winning the Super Bowl with the Eagles — while preventing this Chiefs dynasty from accomplishing one of the greatest feats in professional sports history — would be a fitting end to the Giants’ brutal 2024 season.

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.

It is no secret that Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is one of the NFL’s best. Barkley led the NFL in yards rushing during the 2024 season with 2,005 off 345 carries, also scoring 13 touchdowns.
