Quarterbacks dominate NFL all-time earnings list

NFL player earnings are reaching new heights, with quarterbacks dominating the all-time earnings list. Matthew Stafford leads with $400 million, followed by Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady, who rank third and fourth, respectively. Recent contracts have set records, with players pushing for higher guaranteed money. Notable deals include Joe Burrow's four-year contract with $112 million guaranteed, reflecting the trend of increasing financial demands in the league. Surprisingly, some players with limited playoff success have also earned over $200 million. This includes players like Deshaun Watson, who ranks 15th in career earnings despite few postseason appearances. The list remains largely quarterback-heavy, with only two non-quarterbacks making the top 20.
