Who Is the Richest Player in the NFL?
Who is the richest player in the NFL? There are a lot of factors that go into determining someone’s net worth, and it’s not always easy to accurately compare the wealth of different people. However, we’ve done our best to compile a list of the richest NFL players, based on various public reports and estimates.
Tom Brady
Tom Brady is not only the richest player in the NFL, but he is also one of the richest athletes in the world. The New England Patriots quarterback has an estimated net worth of $180 million, according to Forbes. Brady’s annual salary is $20 million, but he also receives millions more through endorsements with companies like Under Armour, UBS, and SiriusXM. In addition to his on-field success, Brady has also made a name for himself off the field as a model and actor. He has appeared in movies like “Entourage” and ” Ted 2″ and has been featured in campaigns for Bulgari, Beats by Dre, and IWC Schaffhausen.
Drew Brees
Drew Brees is currently the richest player in the NFL, with an estimated net worth of $130 million. He is also one of the highest-paid players in the league, earning an annual salary of $25 million.
Brees has been a member of the New Orleans Saints since 2006 and has helped lead the team to victory in Super Bowl XLIV. He is a two-time Pro Bowl MVP and was named the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year in 2004.
In addition to his on-field success, Brees has also found success off the field, through endorsement deals with companies like Nike, Verizon, and Microsoft. He also has his own line of apparel and products, called “Brees New Orleans.”
Aaron Rodgers
As of September 2019, the richest player in the NFL is Aaron Rodgers, who has a net worth of $130 million. He is followed by Tom Brady, who has a net worth of $120 million, and Drew Brees, who has a net worth of $110 million.
Russell Wilson
Russell Wilson is the richest player in the NFL. He is worth an estimated $135 million. Wilson’s annual salary is $35 million, and he also receives endorsement deals from companies like Nike and Microsoft.
Ben Roethlisberger
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is the richest player in the NFL, according to Forbes. The publication estimates his net worth at $100 million.
Forbes ranks Roethlisberger ahead of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady ($70 million), Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers ($67.5 million) and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson ($63.9 million).
Roethlisberger’s ascent to the top spot is due in part to his recent contract extension, which is worth $87.4 million over four years and includes a $37 million signing bonus. That deal made him the highest-paid player in Steelers history and the fourth-highest paid player in the NFL.
