Saquon Gets Bankquon
Eagles are rewarding Saquon Barkley with a two-year, $41.2 million contract extension that makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history, per sources.

That's what happens when you add a top-tier RB to a team in its Super Bowl window. As much as I'm still no fan of their fans or culture in general, they did it better than the rest. Great trench players, they raised their franchise QB, plenty of skill at the most important positions...that's how it's supposed to work.
KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

They just decided to build their lines on both sides of the ball. They dominated on both sides. Add in a super star RB and he will take control. They built their team around the o line and d line. They hit on their draft picks in order to make that happen as well.

this cant be said enough.... they focused their attention early on their lines and then built out from there, they werent looking to add short term players like RB when they were still a few years away from a real contending team. that was the last piece. If we go looking RB early, especially with the lack of draft capital and the number of huge holes at other positions, I am really going to lose my shit.

No Doubt Their drafting has been phenomenal and they build teams the right way. They also always seem to spend a lot and not lose much for players.
Saquon Gets Bankquon the Giants get Shiton
Funny how things change. Barkleys agent told the Giants that a 3-year deal at $12.5M per would've kept him in New York. A year later, on a much better team, he wins a Super Bowl and gets $20.6 per.
