The 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, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni called it "a little unfair" that some in the NFL are angling to have the tush push banned because it's highly successful for Philadelphia, adding that the idea that it's an automatic play is "a little insulting."
Eagles defensive players said they used the Kansas City Chiefs' three-peat talk as fuel for Philadelphia's dominant Super Bowl LIX performance on Sunday, with defensive end Brandon Graham saying, "That was motivation because it was kind of a slap to us."
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman says Saquon Barkley's historic season is no surprise to him, as the team prepares for its rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts said his injured left knee is "progressing" but he does anticipate wearing a brace for Sunday against the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.
