How Rich Are Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and the Top NFL Players?

The quarterbacks will take center stage in Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12 when the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles clash in the Arizona desert.

And while Patrick Mahomes is playing for the Chiefs on the largest contract in NFL history (10 years, $450 million), the Eagles are preparing to negotiate a lucrative extension with their signal caller, Jalen Hurts.

But among players who were active in the NFL in 2022, where do Mahomes and Hurts rank among the richest all-time? Not in the top 10. Yet. But of the 10 active players with the highest net worths, seven of them are quarterbacks. Most of the names on this list are familiar, but a few might surprise you.

GOBankingRates looked at CelebrityNetWorth.com’s ranking of the 50 richest NFL players and sorted out the active players with the highest net worths. Read on to see if your favorite player is on the list, along with who the non-quarterbacks are.

Team: Tennessee Titans

Position: Quarterback

Net worth: $50 million

After leading the Titans to the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs in 2021, Ryan Tannehill struggled in 2022, and his season ended early with an ankle injury. Entering the third year of a four-year, $118 million contract, the Titans could release Tannehill, 34, to save money. The final two seasons of his big deal are voidable, and he already has taken home $91 million in guaranteed money.

Team: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Position: Wide receiver

Net worth: $50 million

Julio Jones, 34, signed a one-year, $6 million deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after two seasons with the Titans. Before that, Jones played 10 seasons for the Falcons, compiling $125 million of his $148 million in career earnings with Atlanta. He will be a free agent ahead of the 2023 season.

Team: Los Angeles Rams

Position: Cornerback

Net worth: $50 million

Jalen Ramsey, a linchpin of the defense for the Super Bowl-winning Rams in the 2021 season, is entering the fourth year of a five-year, $100 million deal. The 28-year-old has 19 interceptions in his seven-year career and is known for being a lockdown corner.

Team: Indianapolis Colts

Position: Quarterback

Net worth: $70 million

Matt Ryan played 14 seasons for the Atlanta Falcons, winning an MVP and taking the team to a Super Bowl, before being traded to the Indianapolis Colts. He has one season left on his five-year, $150 million deal, and after his unspectacular first season in Indianapolis, the Colts must decide whether to retain Ryan or release him to save some cash.

Team: Minnesota Vikings

Position: Quarterback

Net worth: $70 million

Cousins, 34, signed a one-year, $35 million deal with the Vikings, after completing a fully guaranteed three-year, $84 million contract. He is due to become a free agent in 2024. He’s one of the most accurate passers in the NFL, but has only won one postseason game in his 11-year career.

Team: Philadelphia Eagles

Position: Defensive tackle

Net worth: $80 million

After 12 NFL seasons, Ndamukong Suh was a free agent waiting for the right team to make him an offer. When the injuries on the defensive line started to pile up, the Eagles called Suh, and he signed a one-year, $2 million deal to join the team prior to Week 11 of the season. That brought his career earnings to $168 million with five teams. He’ll be a free agent again heading into the 2023 season.

Team: New York Jets

Position: Quarterback

Net worth: $85 million

Joe Flacco, 38, played on a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the New York Jets in 2022, intended to serve as a backup and veteran presence for second-year QB Zach Wilson. With Wilson going through injuries and ineffectiveness, Flacco was forced into starting duty in four games.

The veteran played 11 seasons (2008-18) for the Baltimore Ravens, winning the 2013 Super Bowl and earning $147.8 million before bouncing around the NFL, with the Denver Broncos, Jets and Eagles.

Team: Denver Broncos

Position: Quarterback

Net worth: $165 million

Perhaps the biggest blockbuster move of the 2022 offseason was the Broncos’ trade for Wilson with the Seattle Seahawks. He signed a five-year, $242 million extension with the Broncos, with $161 million guaranteed. But his first year in Denver was a flop, with Wilson, 34, posting career lows in completion percentage and touchdowns. New coach Sean Payton will be charged with returning Wilson to form.

Team: Green Bay Packers

Position: Quarterback

Net worth: $200 million

Rodgers, 39, won consecutive NFL MVPs in 2020 and 2021(four overall) and one Super Bowl with the Packers, and he signed a three-year, $150 million deal in the offseason after plenty of rumors that he might retire. Rodgers has thrown for a staggering 59,055 yards and 475 touchdowns in his career, but the talk swirling is that Rodgers could retire or be traded.

Team: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Position: Quarterback

Net worth: $250 million

The GOAT (greatest of all time) on the field with a record seven Super Bowl championships, Brady is also the GOAT of net worths. Although he was known throughout his career for taking a little less money to allow his team to sign other talented players, he certainly has gotten his share. Brady earned $30 million in 2022 and compiled $333 million in career earnings before retiring on Feb. 1 after 23 seasons in the NFL.

In 2024, he will join Fox Sports as its lead game analyst, he announced. He signed a reported 10-year, $375 million contract with the network before the 2022 season, with Fox wanting to secure his services in advance of his retirement.
