    What is Saquon Barkley's contract situation, salary, and net worth? Let's delve into how much money the Philadelphia Eagles RB has made.

    One of the biggest moves of the 2024 NFL offseason was Saquon Barkley signing a three-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. After a six-year stint with the New York Giants, Barkley decided to join their NFC East rival. He has been worth every penny for the Eagles, rushing for more than 2,000 yards.

    Let’s take a look at Barkley’s contract, salary, and his current net worth.

    Saquon Barkley’s Contract and Salary

    The Eagles star running back signed a lucrative three-year deal worth approximately $37.8 million, including a hefty $11.6 million signing bonus and $26 million guaranteed.

    Philadelphia gave Barkley close to $24 million over the first two years of the deal. His cap hit for the 2024 season was just $3.9 million, and then it will increase to $13.5 million in 2025. In 2026, only $1.5 million of Barkley’s salary is guaranteed.

    Barkley’s contract pays him $12.6 million annually, making him the NFL’s third-highest-paid running back.

    The only RBs who are earning more than Barkley are San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey ($19 million) and Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ($14 million).

    It’s also worth noting that Barkley can earn an additional $9 million in incentives, meaning he could make as much as $46.75 million over the life of his three-year deal with the Eagles.

    Barkley’s Net Worth and Career Earnings

    Barkley’s net worth is approximately $32 million. Over the course of his career, Barkley has earned $63,442,750 from his NFL contracts alone.

    Barkley also makes approximately $10 million annually from endorsement deals with major brands like Nike, Pepsi, and Toyota. He’s known to live off his endorsement income while wisely investing his NFL salary.

    Barkley also has a number of off-field ventures. In 2021, Barkley invested in the energy drink company X2 Performance.

    “I have been a big believer in X2’s line of clean products for a long time,” Barkley said in a statement. “I am very selective of brands I endorse and even more selective of companies I choose to invest in.”

    Barkley joined Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David, Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard, and ESPN insider Adam Schefter as notable investors in X2 Performance.

    It certainly seems like Barkley has been smart with his money, and he’ll have plenty more coming in over the next several years.

    Eagles vs. Commanders Game Preview

    Now, Barkley will try to lead the Eagles to victory over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.

    With one more win, Jayden Daniels can become the first rookie quarterback to start in the Super Bowl. Daniels will be the sixth rookie QB to start in the Conference Championship Round; the prior five went 0-5 and performed disastrously.

    Including the playoffs, Daniels ranks first in EPA per dropback when blitzed (0.36). While still effective against standard pass rushes, his EPA per dropback drops to 0.10 (13th) in those situations.

    During this playoff run, Daniels became the first rookie QB in NFL history to record 275 passing yards and 50 rushing yards in a playoff win, the first rookie to beat a No. 1 seed since Joe Flacco in 2008, and the third rookie QB to win two road playoff games (joining Flacco and Mark Sanchez).

    Now, Daniels will face an Eagles defense that blitzes at the second-lowest rate of any team this season, including playoffs. During their two regular-season matchups, Daniels punished the Eagles’ blitz, producing an incredible 1.03 EPA (Expected Points Added) per dropback and 14.5 yards per attempt when blitzed.

    Philadelphia only blitzed him on 14 of his 84 dropbacks (17%) in those games. Against their non-blitz pass rush, Daniels was far less effective, averaging a modest -0.02 EPA per dropback.

    Barkley had significant success against Washington. In their two matchups, Barkley rushed for 451 yards and four touchdowns, averaging an impressive 5.4 yards per carry.

    However, the Commanders found a way to limit Barkley in Week 16 after Jalen Hurts left the game in the first quarter, forcing Kenny Pickett to step in. Over the final three quarters, Barkley managed just 41 rushing yards on 22 attempts. Before Hurts’ injury, Barkley had been averaging over 7.7 yards per carry against Washington.

    If Hurts is limited by his left leg injury, the Commanders could focus on loading up against Barkley to contain the Eagles’ rushing attack. By committing additional resources to stop Barkley, they might aim to force Hurts to rely more on his passing game, testing his mobility and effectiveness with the injury.

    The Eagles have leaned heavily on Barkley and Hurts’ rushing abilities to generate offense in the playoffs. Through two games, 70.9% of their total yards have come on the ground.

    The Commanders will play in the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 1991. Only the Browns, who last appeared in a Conference Championship Game in 1989, endured a longer drought.

    Washington went 4-13 (.235) last year, marking the fourth-worst win percentage in the season prior to making a Conference Championship appearance, trailing only the 2017 Jaguars (0.188), 2006 Saints (0.188), and 1967 Oilers (0.214).

    The Eagles lost two games in September and have lost one game since — at Washington in Week 16 after Hurts exited early with a concussion. In that loss, Philadelphia became the first team to score 21 points in the first quarter in a losing effort since the 2019 Texans (during the Divisional Round on the road against the Chiefs).

    PFN’s Playoff Predictor gives the Eagles a 61.8% chance of winning this game while the Commanders have 38.2% odds.
