  On March 4, 2025, Barkley signed a two-year, $41.2 million contract extension with the Eagles that includes $36 million guaranteed and up to $15 million more in incentives. The extension functions as a new four-year contract starting in the 2025 season. Should Barkley reach one or more of the incentives in a given year, the incentive amount is added to Barkley's salary in each of the future remaining contract years. The guaranteed salary amount and its average dollars per year ($20.6 million), even without incentives taken into account, made Barkley the highest paid running back in NFL history.
