Like most professional sports leagues in the United States, the NFL pays a large amount of money to its players. In addition to his salary, the organization offers a great showcase for its athletes to become advertising or social stars.

It is because of this financial mass of everything that causes and grants the best American football league in the world, that its players are positioned among the most important billionaires on the planet. Here we list the 10 best paid.
10 – LEONARD WILLIAMS- NEW YORK GIANTS
The list begins with the Giants’ defensive lineman. Since arriving from the Jets in 2019, he has become their top quarterback player averaging 11.5 sacks per season.
Despite the rough patches for the four-time Super Bowl champions, players like William consistently meet their individual goals.
Total annual earnings: 26.2 million dollars

9 – JARED GOFF – DETROIT
The Super Bowl LIII runner-up quarterback with the Los Angeles Rams was traded to the Lions for this season in exchange for Matthew Staford.
On paper it seems like a change that does not benefit Goff in sports, since Detroit is historically a losing franchise in the NFL. However, his pocket was enlarged with the restructuring of the contract. We’ll see if in a second season he manages to get a winning mark with the NFC team.
Total annual earnings: 27.7 million dollars
8 – TREVOR LAWRENCE – JACKSONVILLE

The first overall selection of the 2021 Draft encountered the heavy blow of leaving professional American football and joining the NFL.
From losing only three games with Clemson in the NCAA, he finished the 2021 campaign with a record of three wins and 14 losses with the Jaguars.
Even so, he managed to show some sparks that in the future could lead him to lead his team to historic triumphs. In addition, of course, being a billionaire with only 22 years.
Total annual earnings: 30.8 million dollars
7 – RUSELL WILSON – SEATTLE

Wilson’s future is uncertain. In recent times, the Seahawks went from being a powerful and respected team, to being left out of the Playoffs and the QB ending a season with a losing record for the first time in his career.
There is talk of being the replacement for Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay or the now-retired Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh. Although in 2019 he signed a millionaire extension for four more years in Seattle, his desire could be to seek a new challenge.
Total annual earnings: $31 million
6 – JONATHAN ALLEN – WASHINGTON
The 27-year-old defensive tackle is one of the few reasons why some Washington fans remain hopeful about a bright future.
The Football Team knows this well and that is why in July of last year they extended his contract to four years and 72 million dollars. Nothing despicable.
Total annual earnings: 31.2 million dollars

5 – TRENT WILLIAMS – SAN FRANCISCO

When the 49ers signed the veteran defensive tackle in 2020 to a six-year, $138 million deal, they made him the richest defensive player in the NFL.
It is precisely because of its low zone that San Francisco has reached the Super Bowl twice in the last decade, and although they have lacked the final step, they are still a highly competitive team.
Total annual earnings: 33.3 million dollars
4 – AARON RODGERS – GREEN BAY
For many, Rodgers is living his “last dance” with the Packers. After all the controversy in the offseason by not showing up for the first training sessions due to disagreements with the management, Aaron returned to Green Bay and became the best team in the regular season.
‘A-Rod’s’ history with the Wisconsin franchise could come to an end for the best way; conquering another Super Bowl.
Total annual earnings: 33.4 million dollars
3 – PATRICK MAHOMES – KANSAS CITY

The acclaimed Chiefs quarterback has already won a Super Bowl and lost another at just 26 years old. To many, he will be the face of the NFL when Brady and Rodgers retire.
In addition to his value and sporting quality, he is also the player in the league with the largest contract. He signed for 10 years and 450 million dollars.
Total annual earnings: 44.8 million dollars
2 – TOM BRADY – TAMPA BAY

For many insiders and strangers to the NFL, Tom Brady is and for a long time will be the best player of all time. He alone has more Super Bowl wins than all teams in the league have won with seven.
At 44 years old, ‘The GOAT’ is not only perhaps the most respected idol in the history of the NFL, but he is also one of the most influential characters in all kinds of markets, such as the sale of clothing where he has his own Mark.
Total annual earnings: 72.5 million dollars
1 – DAK PRESCOTT – DALLAS
From the end of the 2020 season to the start of 2021, the Dallas QB was in stiff negotiations with the Cowboys for a contract extension. His numbers and injuries didn’t seem to hold up to Prescott’s demands, but in the end Jerry Jones relented and made him the highest-paid player in the NFL.
Dallas had a good regular season and made it to the Wild Card Round, but the dream ended when they were eliminated by the 49ers.
