Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has had the best year of his career this season, propelling his franchise all the way to the 2025 Super Bowl. They’ll face the Kansas City Chiefs. In the meantime, not only does Barkley get to enjoy a trip to the Super Bowl, but he’s also landed numerous bonuses along the way of his prolific season. Here’s the list of bonuses, courtesy of Front Office Sports. He’s also one more win away from an additional $250,000 and a Super Bowl title.

Check out the bonuses he’s already brought in this season.

In Philadelphia’s 55-23 win over Washington in the NFC Championship Game, Barkley was once again masterful, with 15 carries for 118 rushing yards and three touchdowns. He’s been squarely in the mix of the MVP race all season long and it’ll be very interesting to see if he can win it at season’s end. Regardless, his 2024-2025 season will forever go down as one of the greatest seasons by a running back in NFL history.

Saquon Barkley having a magical 2024 season

Saquon Barkley is having a year he will never forget. The Penn State alum finished the 2024 regular season with 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns on 345 carries. In the Eagles’ first two playoff games, Barkley rushed for 324 yards and two touchdowns on 51 carries.

Last week, Barkley rushed for a team single-game playoff record 205 yards in a win against the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round. “It was the same message as last week – the most important thing is winning football games, especially around this time of year,” Barkley said at his locker after the game, per the Eagles’ official website.

“Whatever it takes. Defense, our defense is special. Making plays for us. Of course, we’re going to go back and watch and see what we can do better on offense. Our offensive line did a great job for us, we made the plays and got a win,” Barkley continued.

“I think Saquon has been tremendous at that rain, sleet, or snow. So, he’s been able to pound, pound, pound, and then take it off,” Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts said after rushing for 70 yards against the Rams. “That was fun. That was cute, I said, just being able to pop it off first. Saquon needed a break. So, I told him, I’ll do it first.”
