Saquon Barkley signed a 2-year extension averaging $20.6M per year with $36M guaranteed at age 28, serving as a primary benchmark for Jonathan Taylor's projected contract. The source uses Barkley's deal as the upper-end comparison point for Taylor's extension, noting that Taylor could match or exceed Saquon's AAV given the CBA increase since 2024–2025.
