She has a stellar client list that includes Barkley, Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Ronnie Stanley, and former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant.

Kim Miale is negotiating improved terms for Barkley as the Giants look to extend the Pro Bowler to a longer contract.

Kim Miale's Legacy at Roc Nation Sports

Kim Miale is a significant part of Roc Nation's football agency upsurge and is currently the company's head of football. She has been with Roc Nation Sports since May 2013 and was the first agent hired by JAY-Z and President Juan Perez.

In addition to serving as co-Head of Football alongside Erik Burkhardt, she also serves as Roc Nation Sports' General Counsel. During the 2018 NFL Draft, Miele's client Saquon Barkley went number two overall to the New York Giants, the highest a player represented by a woman has ever been chosen.

She has negotiated above-market contracts for Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Ronnie Stanley (five-year, $112.866 million) and former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant (five-year, $70 million).

Who is the highest-paid running back in the NFL?

The current highest-paid running back in the NFL is San Francisco 49ers superstar Christian McCaffrey. He sits atop the running back salary scale with an average yearly pay of $16 million. That is just $1 million more than Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints.

Barkley will hope that Miale's negotiation skills will help him achieve a contract that puts him on par with or even surpasses the top earners in his position, securing his long-term financial future.
