The Eagles and Barkley agreed to a two-year contract extension Tuesday. A source told CBS Sports, confirming an ESPN report, the new deal is worth $41.2 million. The extension carries a $20.6 million per year annual average value, eclipsing Christian McCaffrey's $19 million AAV.

Saquon Barkley was the straw that stirred the drink for the Philadelphia Eagles en route to their Super Bowl LIX title last season. Now, after inking a lucrative extension with the organization earlier this offseason, he's hoping to be a catalyst for his fellow running backs to follow suit.

Saquon Barkley won the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, set the NFL record for the most single-season rushing yards including the playoffs and became the highest-paid running back in league history.
