Saquon Barkley is coming home, and the Philadelphia Eagles also have a new pass rusher – Player Bryce Huff.
The Eagles on Monday agreed to a three-year, $37.75 million contract with the former New York Giants running back, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Barkley could earn up to $46.75 million and has $26 million fully guaranteed, Schefter reported.
The Eagles also agreed to a three-year, $51.1 million contract with former New York Jets defensive end Bryce Huff, according to ESPN and the NFL Network.
The Eagles also plan to sign former New Orleans Saints linebacker Zack Baun to a one-year deal, according to ESPN. Baun had 30 tackles in the 2023 season and mostly played special teams during his time with the Saints.
Earlier Monday, the Eagles agreed to a four-year contract extension with Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson.
The Eagles also have permitted Pro Bowl edge rusher Haason Reddick to seek a trade and reportedly are shopping defensive end Josh Sweat.
Rumors swirled, leading up to the legal tampering window of mutual interest between Barkley and the Eagles, so a match didn’t come as a total surprise. But the free-agent deal for a running back is out-of-character for Eagles general manager Howie Roseman.
Since 2020, running backs haven’t accounted for more than $5.2 million in cap space each season, according to Spotrac. This is fantastic for the Philadelphia Eagles.
