But they won’t be the richest players in terms of career earnings on the field at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
While the Chiefs gave Mahomes the biggest contract in football — 10 years for $450 million — when they signed him to an extension in July 2020, he barely cracks the top 10 when it comes to career earnings of the stars in this game. He’s still early in his career and will rise to the top of the list quickly.
Using data from Spotrac, GOBankingRates determined the career earnings for individual players on the Eagles and Chiefs through the 2022 season and ranked the top 15. At the top of the list are six members of the veteran-laden Eagles, and five are linemen. Of those ranked, only three play the so-called “skill” positions.
