Eagles Sign RB Saquon Barkley to two-year extension

Adam Schefter

Mar 04 · 2:23 PM EST

Eagles are rewarding Saquon Barkley with a two-year, $41.2 million contract extension that makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history, per sources. The deal makes Barkley the NFL’s first $20 million+ per-year running back. Barkley also has the ability to earn an additional $15 million in incentives and escalators. The deal includes $36 million fully guaranteed at signing.

The Eagles are taking the rare step of extending Barkley one year into his three-year deal - and in the same league year in which they signed him to the initial contract.

Related Players: Kenneth Gainwell, Will Shipley

Fantasy Impact:

Barkley gets the bag after a fantastic season that saw him string together breakaway runs that led to an eventually Philly Super Bowl win. Though he's up against the proverbial "age curve", he showed no signs of slowing down in '24 and should remain a high-upside fantasy commodity in '25.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley's injury is 'nothing crazy'

Saquon Barkley on his injury: "Nothing crazy, a little minor. Just getting ready for next week."

Fantasy Impact:

Barkley left the game in the first half but was able to return in the second half. Barkley still carried 19 times, but only had 65 yards. He added two catches for 9 yards. It wasn't his best fantasy game but hopefully for owners they were able to survive what was likely Week 1 of the playoffs. It sounds like Barkley is planning to play in Week 16, which is in the early slate of Sunday games at the Commanders. His status will need to be monitored this week but it's great news he was able to return to the game.

Eagles place WR Britain Covey (shoulder) on IR

Pro Football Talk

Sep 24, 2024 · 3:57 PM EDT

Philadelphia has placed receiver Britain Covey on injured reserve after he suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday’s win over New Orleans.

Covey had to exit the game in the first half and was unable to return. He has caught seven passes for 34 yards so far this season. He’s also returned one punt for 9 yards.

Fantasy Impact:

Normally this may not be big news but the Eagles were involving Covey over the last two weeks before his injury. The other reason to pay attention is Brown is dealing with a hamstring issue and is in question for Week 4 - as is Smith who is in concussion protocol. That leaves Dotson, Wilson and Campbell as - possibly - the Eagles top-three WRs heading into Week 4. Even if that's the case, look for Goedert and Barkley to be heavily involved against the Bucs. Brown does have a chance to play but it's another situation to monitor this week.

Eagles Beat: Look for team to use RB Will Shipley in passing game

With Saquon Barkley out today at practice, beat reporter Zach Berman wrote it's clear the Eagles love Will Shipley's skill set in the passing game.

Fantasy Impact:

Berman went on to say the Eagles used Shipley a lot in the slot during the spring, and he was one of the top backs in this year's draft in terms of receiving ability. Despite having D'Andre Swift last season, the Eagles didn't use their RBs much in the passing game as they traditionally have over the last many years. However, that could change this year with new OC Kellen Moore.
