On July 27, the Green Bay Packers made a big move by extending their quarterback, Jordan Love's contract for four more years. The whopping $220 million deal has officially made Love the highest-paid quarterback in the history of the NFL, according to Draft Kings Network. This is definitely a major accomplishment for Love, but there's a catch. Despite his new title, it has been reported by Pro Football Talk that Kansas City Chiefs' star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, will still hold the highest-paid quarterback position for the next three years.
It's no surprise that Mahomes is still sitting at the top of the list. As a three-time Super Bowl champion and arguably the best quarterback in the league right now, he is set to earn an average of $45 million per year based on his current contract. However, this amount is actually lower than what eight other quarterbacks in the league are making. Quarterbacks such as Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins, Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions, Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers, Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, and Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles are all set to make over $50 million annually. Meanwhile, Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals, Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Jordan Love himself will be earning a whopping $55 million each year.
But, let's take a closer look at the upcoming seasons within a four-year period. It turns out that Mahomes still comes out on top for the years 2023-26 and 2024-27. In fact, when looking at the annual salaries for the top 10 highest-paid NFL players during this period, Mahomes is leading the pack with a total of $210.6 million. Following him are Lamar Jackson with $208 million, Deshaun Watson with $184 million, Joe Burrow with $181 million, and Daniel Jones with $160 million. The list goes on with Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts, Kyler Murray, Josh Allen, and Matthew Stafford.
Moving on to the years 2024 through 2027, Mahomes is still at the top with a staggering $215.6 million salary. Joe Burrow comes in second with $213.9 million, followed by Jared Goff with $193.6 million, Tua Tagovailoa with $186.1 million, and Jordan Love with $186 million. The list continues with Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert, Kirk Cousins, Lamar Jackson, and Trevor Lawrence.
As you can see, Mahomes is still the highest-paid quarterback not just for the years 2023 through 2026, but also for the years 2024 through 2027. This just goes to show how valuable and talented he is, both on and off the field. In fact, Mahomes recently made headlines for his partnership with the HBCU Legacy Bowl, showcasing his dedication to making a positive impact in the community. With such impressive performances and a big heart, it's no wonder Mahomes is sitting comfortably at the top of the list.
