Saquon Barkley will pocket $250,000 if the Eagles reach the Super Bowl – and another quarter of a million dollars if Philadelphia lifts the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
The Eagles and the Commanders meet at Lincoln Financial Field in the NFC Championship game on Sunday.
The winners will face either the Chiefs or the Bills in next month’s Super Bowl in New Orleans.
Barkley is eyeing a first ever trip to the Super Bowl, having joined the Eagles from the Giants after six seasons in New York during which he won only one postseason game.
The 27-year-old signed a three-year, $37.75million contract with Philadelphia, which included a $11.625m signing bonus and $26m guaranteed.
His average annual salary is more than $12.5million but Barkley is two victories away from earning another $500,000.
