Saquon Barkley had himself a monster game on Sunday in the NFC Championship against the Commanders. He scored on the Eagles’ first play, and he went on to put away the Commanders with his three-touchdown effort. Even though Barkley made it look easy at times, he was well aware of what his offensive line was dealing with in the lead-up to the game.
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.
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 two bigger offers before signing with Philadelphia.
