CLEVELAND, Ohio — Baker Mayfield wasn’t yanking Saquon Barkley’s chain about that QUADS pendant for beating him out for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Mayfield paid off the bet in a huge way this week, with a diamond-encrusted “QUADS” pendant on a thick gold chain. The pendant is almost as big as Barkley’s massive quads themselves.

Heading into the awards season, the two friends placed a bet on who would win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Both players felt deserving of the award, and were willing to pony up with some bling if they lost.

Mayfield joked in February that Barkley hated being called Sa-quads because of his enormous thighs, and vowed to design a Quads pendant for the occasion. Even when Odell Beckham Jr. presented Barkley with the award during the NFL Honors show, Odell Beckham Jr. called him Sa-quad.

“S/O to @bakermayfield for coming through with the bet #QUADS’’ tweeted Barkley on Saturday.

At the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards in February, Mayfield joked, “It’ll say ‘quads’ on it. Not ‘Sa-quads’ but just ‘quads.’ The two extra letters in there cost a little bit extra money, so we’ll stick with just ‘quads.’”

And even though Barkley hates the nickname, he’ll embrace his new neck candy.

“The bad thing about that is, the loser picks, so I don’t get to pick,’’ Barkley said backstage at the NFL Honors Show in Atlanta in February while clutching his new trophy. “With Baker Mayfield, you never know what you’re going to get. But yeah, we made a little fun bet just to show that obviously we both want to win this award, but it’s bigger than us.

“It’s about a friendship, and the love that we have for each other. But I did win, so I do get a chain and he gets to pick and whatever he picks I’m just going to wear it and that’s a gift.’’

Barkley, who finished second in the NFL with 1,307 rushing yards and 13th in the NFL with 91 receptions, beat out Mayfield for the award despite Mayfield setting the NFL rookie record for TD passes with 27.

Barkley, who finished first in the NFL with 2,028 yards from scrimmage, knew the two players would be neck-and-neck. Barkley received 26.5 votes, Mayfield received 21.5 and Colts guard Quenton Nelson received two.

“Yeah, I knew it was going to be a really close race,’’ said Barkley at the NFL Honors show. “It was up for grabs and I don’t think it’s been like that for the Rookie of the Year award ... so that’s awesome just for the NFL and the fans but like I said, Baker had an unbelievable season. And what he did for Cleveland is unbelievable. He deserves it (too). I wish we could go ‘co.’ But for me to win this award, it’s amazing.’’

And so is his new chain.
