Who Is The Lowest Paid Quarterback In The Nfl?
It’s no secret that NFL quarterbacks are some of the highest-paid athletes in the world. But not all QBs are created equal when it comes to their annual salaries. So, who is the lowest-paid quarterback in the NFL?
Tom Brady
Tom Brady is the lowest paid quarterback in the NFL. He is currently signed to a two-year contract with the New England Patriots worth $14 million. Brady’s annual salary is $7 million, which is less than half of what some of the league’s other top quarterbacks are making.
Drew Brees
Drew Brees, who has played for the New Orleans Saints since 2006, is the NFL’s lowest-paid quarterback, with a base salary of $1.2 million this season. He will make an additional $1 million in signing bonus money and other bonuses, bringing his total compensation to $2.2 million.
Eli Manning
Eli Manning is the lowest paid quarterback in the NFL, earning an annual salary of just $1 million. The two-time Super Bowl MVP has famously taken pay cuts in order to help the Giants stay competitive, and as a result, his current contract is worth a total of just $17 million over four years.
Philip Rivers
Philip Rivers is the lowest paid quarterback in the NFL. He is scheduled to make $1 million this season, with a $6 million cap hit.
