“I don’t like that,” Travis Kelce voices hate as Saquon Barkley secures new contract with Eagles

Published

on

 

Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce recently expressed strong disapproval regarding the structure of Saquon Barkley’s new contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. During an episode of his “New Heights” podcast, co-hosted with his brother Jason Kelce—a former Eagles center—Travis criticized the incentive-heavy nature of Barkley’s two-year, $41.2 million extension, which includes $36 million guaranteed and up to $15 million in performance-based incentives.

 

 

Kelce specifically took issue with the reliance on incentives tied to individual accolades and team success, such as Pro Bowl selections and playoff victories. He questioned the fairness of these clauses, stating, “Does he have to get a 2,000-yard season every year?” and expressed concern over players having to depend on external factors, like votes for awards, to achieve their full compensation.

This critique brings to light a broader debate within the NFL regarding contract structures, especially for running backs—a position often subjected to high physical demands and shorter career spans. While performance-based incentives are common, Kelce’s comments highlight the potential pitfalls of such arrangements, where players might feel undue pressure to meet lofty benchmarks to secure their earnings.

Despite his criticism of the contract’s structure, Kelce acknowledged Barkley’s talent and the significant impact he brings to the field. Barkley’s recent performance, including a 2,005-yard rushing season and a pivotal role in the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory over the Chiefs, underscores his value. However, Kelce’s concerns shed light on the ongoing discussion about how NFL contracts can fairly compensate players while balancing team interests.

As the NFL continues to evolve, the conversation around contract incentives and guaranteed money remains a critical topic, especially for positions as impactful and vulnerable as running backs.
