NFL's highest-paid Running Backs: List of 2024 Top RBs salary rankings..
It has been a frustrating offseason for running backs, a position that is experiencing reduced financial muscle in the modern-day NFL.
During the past couple months, several of the game's best backs have had trouble reaching deals with teams for what they feel is fair-market value.
Still, the three-year, $37.75 million contract he received from the Philadelphia Eagles was not enough to make him one of the top three highest-paid running backs in the league.
Just below Barkley on the highest-paid list at the position are some other running backs who got big contracts with new teams: Josh Jacobs (with the Green Bay Packers), Joe Mixon (with the Houston Texans), D'Andre Swift (with the Chicago Bears), Derrick Henry (with the Baltimore Ravens) and Tony Pollard (with the Tennessee Titans).
Who is the highest-paid NFL running back?
The San Francisco 49ers' Christian McCaffrey signed a four-year contract extension with the Carolina Panthers in 2020. His 2022 trade put the onus on the 49ers to absorb the richest deal given to a running back.
