LeSean McCoy praises the Philadelphia Eagles for doing the right thing by paying Saquon Barkley a two-year, $41.2 million extension.
Saquon Barkley's record-breaking contract with the Philadelphia Eagles has some fine print that Travis Kelce isn't glossing over.
During this week's episode of Kelce's podcast "New Heights" with his brother Jason, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end called out the Eagles for the many incentives included in Barkley's contract.
Barkley's two-year, $41.2 million deal, with a $20.6 million per year salary, made him the highest-paid running back in NFL history.

However, only $36 million of that deal is guaranteed, while Barkley can earn an additional $15 million if he fulfills certain incentives.
"Eww," Kelce said in response to the incentive aspect of Barkley's deal. "I don't like that one bit.... Does he have to get a 2,000-yard season every year?"

The incentive clauses in Barkley's new contract are unknown at this time. His previous contract, which he signed with the Eagles last offseason, included incentives for earning first-team All-Pro honors, rushing for at least 1,000 and then 1,500 yards, and victories in each round of the playoffs.
