2/10Daniel Jones, 25, was selected by the Giants in the first round of the 2019 Draft as a future bet. The Charlotte, North Carolina native quarterback’s 2022 season was his best since his arrival in New York.
3/10Dak Prescott will earn, like Daniel Jones, 160 million in four seasons. He is the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys since 2016 and signed his current contract in March 2021.
4/10Matthew Stafford is the third quarterback to earn $160 million in four years. He was with the Detroit Lions between 2009 and 2020 and in 2021 he signed for the Angeles Rams.
5/10Josh Allen will earn $258 million over six seasons, at a rate of $43 million per year. ‘Quarterback’ for the Buffalo Bills since 2018.
6/10Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in the NFL but not the highest paid. The Kansas City star, a team with which he has won two Superbowls (2020 and 2023), has a contract of 450 million dollars for 10 seasons, at a rate of 45 million per year.
7/10Deshaun Watson is the fourth highest paid quarterback in the NFL. After playing between 2017 and 2021 for the Houston Texans, last season he signed for the Cleveland Browns. He will collect 230 million in five years, at a rate of 46 million per season.
8/10Kyler Murray has been the ‘quaterback’ of the Arizona Cardinals since 2019. He has a contract of 230.5 million dollars for five seasons, so he earns 46.1 million per year. He closes the podium of the highest paid ‘quarterbacks’ in the NFL.
9/10Russell Wilson led the Seattle Seahawks, a team in which he played between 2012 and 2021, to win the Super Bowl in 2014 but in 2022 he signed for the Denver Broncos with a stratospheric contract of 245 million for five years, at a rate of 49 million by season.
10/10And the best paid is… Yes, the great Aaron Rodgers, standard-bearer for the Green Bay Packers since 2005, whom he led to win the Super Bowl in 2011. At 39, he has a contract of 150.8 million for three years, at a rate of 50.266 million per season. His future, however, is uncertain as he could go to the New York Jets and even retire.
