Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has significantly enhanced his earning potential following the team's decisive 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game. This win secured the Eagles a spot in Super Bowl LIX, marking a triumphant moment in the postseason.
As a result of his contributions towards this achievement, Barkley activated a $250,000 bonus incentive in his contract. Furthermore, he stands to earn an additional $250,000 should the Eagles claim the Super Bowl title. In total, Barkley could secure $500,000 from two victories in the playoff context, which reflects his instrumental role in the team's success.
In addition to these postseason bonuses, Barkley has amassed $1.5 million in performance incentives. He also received $500,000 for being selected to the first-team All-Pro and $250,000 for his Pro Bowl selection. With a base salary of $13.5 million for the 2024 season, Barkley is in a position to cap off an impressive year. After leaving the New York Giants and joining the rival Eagles, he expressed a strong desire to compete for his first career championship ring. Now, he looks ahead to Super Bowl LIX on February 9, where he aims to solidify his outstanding season.
