Saquon Barkley’s Fiancee Reacts to His New NFL Record-Setting Contract

Saquon Barkley’s fiancée, Anna Congdon, has reacted to the Philadelphia Eagles running back making history with his new contract. 

Barkley, 28, signed a two-year contract extension with the Eagles on Tuesday, March 4. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the deal is worth $41.2 million, which makes Barkley the highest-paid running back in NFL history. 

The deal, which includes $36 million guaranteed at signing, also includes the ability to earn an additional $15 million in incentives. 

Congdon — who shares daughter Jada, 6, and son Saquon Jr., 17 months, with the football star — responded to the big news via social media.

She shared a graphic created by the NFL via her Instagram Story, which read: “Saquon becomes first RB in NFL history with $20 million+ per year contract.”

The post included an image of Barkley holding the Vince Lombardi Trophy, which the Eagles earned by defeating the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on February 9. 

In a separate post, Congdon also shared an image of Barkley embracing his agent, Edward Berry, who was responsible for orchestrating Barkley’s record-setting contract. She tagged Berry in the post and wrote, “🙏🏻🤍✨.”

Barkley expressed his gratitude for his new contract with his own post on social media. 

“Overflow!” he wrote via X. “Grateful for the Eagles Organization, grateful for my team,  grateful for the amazing fans in Philly. Fly Eagles Fly 🦅 @EdwardMBerry 😤.”

After spending the first six seasons of his NFL career with the New York Giants, Barkley signed a three-year, $37.75 million deal with the Eagles in March 2024. 

Barkley and Congdon — who met while they were both students at Penn State University and have been dating since 2017 — announced their engagement one week before the Super Bowl. 

“I can’t be the athlete I am and have the success I have so far in my career without the help of her,” Barkley told People in a story published February 2. “She’s been super helpful and always has my back, not only in football but throughout life there’s a lot that goes on. But as we continue to grow and mature and go through life together, we continue getting closer and continue to get even better.”

Barkley continued, “And it’s a beautiful thing because we have two amazing children that [we raised] and we just sit back and laugh sometimes when they’re over there playing and just smile and think about where everything started.”
