Recently, former New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley made a big move by signing a lucrative contract with one of the Giants' biggest rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles. According to AfroTech, the contract is estimated to be worth $37.8 million over three years. This is a major upgrade for Barkley, as he will now have the opportunity to play alongside one of the NFL's top quarterbacks, Jalen Hurts, and for a team that consistently makes it to the playoffs. And the best part? His bank account will also see a significant boost.
As reported by Sportskeeda, Barkley's new deal includes a hefty signing bonus of $11,625,000 and an average yearly salary of $12,583,333. He is also guaranteed a total of $26,000,000. In the upcoming season, Barkley's base salary will be $1,375,000, thanks to the hefty signing bonus he received. It's safe to say that he won't be hurting for money anytime soon. In fact, Wealthy Gorilla lists Barkley's current net worth at a whopping $32 million.
Before making the move to the Eagles, Barkley had previously signed a four-year contract with the Giants worth $31,194,751. This included a $20,767,092 signing bonus, $31,194,751 in guaranteed money, and an average yearly salary of $7,798,688. However, after playing his entire career with the Giants and amassing an impressive 5,211 yards and 35 touchdowns, Barkley decided it was time for a change.
At 27 years old, Barkley has already achieved great success in his football career. He was a standout player at Penn State, where he was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and Big Ten Running Back of the Year twice in 2016 and 2017. He also holds the school record for the most rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns. During his time at Penn State, Barkley ran for 3,000 rushing yards and accumulated 1,000 receiving yards.
In 2018, the Giants selected Barkley as the second overall player in the NFL Draft, recognizing his immense talent and potential. Now, he will be bringing his skills to the City of Brotherly Love, hoping to help the Eagles secure another Super Bowl ring. And the best part? Barkley won't have to carry as much of the offensive load as he did in New York. With the Eagles, he will have a strong supporting cast, allowing him to excel even further on the field.
It's an exciting time for Barkley as he embarks on this new chapter in his football career. With a lucrative contract and a talented team by his side, he is set to achieve even greater success in the years to come. And as he continues to make a name for himself in the NFL, he is also proving to be a valuable asset to his team and the league as a whole.
