A good quarterback is very important to a team, and Joe Burrow's new deal with the Cincinnati Bengals shows how important he is. Burrow's new five-year, $275 million deal, which pays him an average of $55 million per year, makes him the highest-paid player in the league. Before this, Justin Herbert held the title.
Herbert got a new deal with the Los Angeles Chargers in July that will keep him with the team for another five years and $262.5 million. Burrow, Herbert, and quarterbacks Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens and Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles all got big contracts for 2023.
Nick Bosa of the San Francisco 49ers is the highest-paid player who is not a quarterback. He signed a five-year, $170 million deal.
