Saquon Barkley inks two-year extension with Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is signing a two-year extension worth $41.2 million with the organization, making him the highest-paid RB in the NFL
Fantasy Impact: Barkley was set to have two years left on his contract heading into 2025, but this new deal keeps him around through the 2028 season. He will be the first $20-million-per-year RB in the NFL (in AAV) after rushing for over 2,000 yards and setting the record for rushing yards in a single season (regular season + postseason) in 2024. The reigning fantasy RB1 in half-PPR formats will stay behind one of the best O-lines in the NFL for a little longer.
Expert Note
Undoubtedly, the consensus RB1 in 2025 will be Saquon Barkley after arguably the greatest season we have ever seen from the position. Over 2,000 rushing yards as the only skill player to average more than 20 points per game in half-PPR. He led the NFL in touches with nearly 500...running effectively behind the league's best OL. But as was the case with Christian McCaffrey last season...leading the NFL in touches by such a vast margin is essentially the kiss of death for running backs the following year. Only two RBs finished as RB1s the following year after leading the NFL in touches since 2013. Ezekiel Elliott is the only one over that period to finish inside the top 5.
