The\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>\u00a0are\u00a0one step away from the Super Bowl<\/a>, and a big reason why is\u00a0running back Miles Sanders<\/a>. The fourth-year vet had a career year this season, rushing for 1,269 yards and making his first Pro Bowl. When the season finally ends for the Eagles, though, they\u2019ll have some big decisions to make about the Miles Sanders contract. He is a free-agent RB this offseason, and the team will ultimately have to decide whether he is worth a deal that puts him among the 10 highest-paid backs in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagles took Miles Sanders out of Penn State with the No. 53 pick in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. As a second-round selection, the initial Miles Sanders contract was a four-year, $5,350,175 deal with a $1,911,036 signing bonus, $2,649,226 guaranteed, and an average annual value (AAV) of $1,337,544.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, that $1.3 million AAV made him the 43rd highest-paid RB in the NFL, one spot higher than the\u00a0Green Bay Packers A.J. Dillion<\/a>\u00a0and one spot below Baltimore Ravens RB JK Dobbins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanders picked a great year to have the best season of his career. Behind the Eagles offensive line \u2014 which may be the best in the NFL \u2014 Sanders carried the ball 259 times this season, which is 79 more than his previous high. And he scored 11 rushing touchdowns, two more than his career total to that point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one of the NFL\u2019s six Pro Bowl running backs this season, the Eagles runner put himself in a prime position for the next Miles Sanders contract. According to Spotrac<\/a>, Sanders has a market value of $7.2 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new Miles Sanders contract like that would put him on the same level as past free-agent RBs Leonard Fournette and James Conner. A $10-$12 million deal would put him with players like Joe Mixon<\/a> and Aaron Jones, which is more in line with his value now that Sanders has made a Pro Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should the Eagles re-sign the free-agent RB?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Miles Sanders SEE YA.
