The star of Philadelphia Eagles, Saquon Barkley, was rewarded for his record-breaking season, which culminated in a Super Bowl triumph with the greatest NFL contract ever for a return, ESPN reported.

The Eagles confirmed on Tuesday that Barkley had received a new two -year extension that will hold him with the team during the 2028 season.

ESPN reported that the deal was worth $ 41.2 million (38.8 million euros), with the signing of $ 36 million guaranteed and earning the chance of incentives of $ 15 million.

Barkley ran throughout the season for 2,504 yards, which was an NFL record and was the first NFL player with six 60-yard touchdown runs in one season and a number of Eagles records.

The former New York Giant, who achieved 20 touchdowns in the regular and after the season, was elected offensive player of the NFL of the year and was a finalist for the most valuable player in the league.
