Saquon Barkley turned in one of the all-time great seasons for a running back in his first year with the Philadelphia Eagles. As a result, they've inked him to a two-year extension worth $41.2 million, making him the first running back in league history to make over $20 million per year on his deal.

That's good news for other running backs that will soon test the market, like Buffalo Bills back James Cook.
