A talented Philadelphia Eagles backfield just got stronger. The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported Wednesday, citing sources, that the Eagles are signing veteran running back AJ Dillon. Dillon missed the entire 2024 campaign due to a neck injury.

Saquon Barkley was the straw that stirred the drink for the Philadelphia Eagles en route to their Super Bowl LIX title last season. Now, after inking a lucrative extension with the organization earlier this offseason, he's hoping to be a catalyst for his fellow running backs to follow suit.

But Barkley's contract could also do something else − and that is pay off for quarterback Jalen Hurts. As for what it would look like, start with Josh Allen's six-year extension worth as much as $330 million with the Buffalo Bills, even though Allen had four years left on his current contract.
