Throughout the history of the NFL, salary has always been one of the focuses of attention of players, fans and the media. From the early low-salary era to today's sky-high contracts, the income level of professional NFL athletes has continued to rise.

Recently, ESPN counted the income rankings of 16 positions in the NFL, and quarterbacks are obviously the best. Among them, Dak Prescott, wearing a Dallas Cowboys jerseys, led all NFL players with $61.6 million. However, Josh Allen, who just renewed his contract with Buffalo, obviously frightened many people with a guaranteed money of up to 250 million US dollars.However, in some positions, the player who ranks first in annual salary and guaranteed money may be the same player.

This looks very interesting, but it also reveals the fickleness of the NFL's salary structure. Therefore, every time a big contract sets a new record, it can trigger a big discussion, and fans have mixed reactions to it. However, for players, wearing an nfl jersey and winning the MVP and Lombardi Trophy is a lifelong pursuit. When you have them, the income will follow.
