Inside RB Saquon Barkley’s contract incentives with the Eagles

Barkley is set to make a total of $13.5 million this season via his signing bonus, workout bonus and base salary. He can earn up to an additional $3 million in individual and team incentives for performance this season.

If he totals 1,500 rushing and receiving yards combined (he already has 1,347), he will earn a $250,000 incentive due in February. If he crosses 2,000 yards, he’ll pick up another $250,000. The amount earned from his yardage incentive will also be added to his 2025 base salary as an escalator. In other words, 2,000 combined yards would net him $1 million total.

For a first-team All-Pro selection, Barkley earns a $500,000 incentive. A second-team honor or being voted into the Pro Bowl would net him $250,000. As with the yardage incentive, the same amount would be added to his 2025 base salary like an escalator.

Barkley also has up to $500,000 tied to the team’s postseason performance. For wins in the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl, Barkley would earn $250,000 each. (For this incentive, he is also required to rush for 1,000 yards in the regular season, which he has already done.) Again, whatever Barkley earns via an incentive will also be added to his 2025 base salary.

Going back to the 11 times Barkley has been tackled on 1 or 2, they are as follows: Five Hurts rushing TDs, one Hurts passing TD, one Barkley rushing TD and one field goal.

Barkley’s fantasy owners might not love it. Barkley doesn’t seem to mind, though, saying earlier this season, “Whether it’s me scoring, Jalen scoring, just finding ways to get in the end zone. That’s the way to win football games.”
