Saquon Barkley’s $37.8 Million Contract, Salary, and Net Worth: How Much Money Is the Eagles RB Making?

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 and leading Philly to victory in Super Bowl 59.

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.
