Though the NFL is a competitive landscape, the running backs have become a band of brothers. Not even the ones who are teammates, fighting and vying for carries, stats, and the money that follows. But league-wide, running back has been a lesser-paid position and declining market. Fresh off his new contract, Saquon Barkley isn’t trying to reset the market. But he hopes he can do his part to push it upwards for guys like Najee Harris.
Appearing on the Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast earlier this week, Barkley mentioned Harris as part of the next group of runners in line to get paid.
