You Won’t Believe Who Just Claimed the Title of NFL’s Highest-Paid Player—And How They Did It!
Herbert, 25, was a first-round pick (sixth overall) by the Chargers in 2020. He’s been a full-time starter ever since, throwing for 17,223 yards and 114 touchdowns with only 42 interceptions through his first four seasons.
7. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens (5 years, $260M)
Signing Year: 2023; AAV: $52,000,000; Signing Age: 26
Jacksonâs free-agent deal is not worth as much as Mahomesâ in totality, but he became the highest-paid player per year (at the time) after re-signing with the team that drafted him 32nd overall back in 2018. Jackson was four years removed from his MVP-winning season in 2019 and he hadnât posted a 1,000-yard rushing season since 2020 at the time of the signing.
