You Won’t Believe Who Just Claimed the Title of NFL’s Highest-Paid Player—And How They Did It!
Before getting his big contract, Purdy had led San Francisco to a 27-15 record in his starts. That’s the sixth-best mark by a starting QB (including the playoffs) in the league since 2022. It includes a Super Bowl appearance at the end of the 2023 season.
6. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers (5 years, $262.5M)
Signing Year: 2023; AAV: $52,500,000; Signing Age: 25
At the time of this deal, Herbert had become the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL by average salary. That is until the Bengals’ deal with Burrow surpassed that number just over a month later. Herbert will receive $218.7 million in guarantees in his new deal.
