In a video taken after the Eagles' NFC Championship win, Mailata fist bumps Barkley's youngest before telling him, "Your dad's a legend. Do you know that? Your dad is a legend. He might be the greatest running back in Philadelphia history of all time. Your dad is a legend!"

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is having a historic season. Here's his monstrous 2024 season by the numbers.

But it turns out Barkley had better offers before agreeing to his three-year, $37.75 million contract with the Eagles. According to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, Barkley turned down “at least two” bigger offers before signing with Philadelphia.
