Diggs gets a $21.25 million signing bonus, and he’ll now be among the highest paid at the position while still only being 24 years of age.
With the deal set to be signed, we’re looking at the ten highest paid cornerbacks in the NFL today.
Total value
The $97 million is tied for the third most in NFL history.
Average per Year
The $19.4 million per year is tied for fourth most.
Eagles duo
The Eagles have two similarly talented cornerbacks and they have both players on a bargain.
Darius Slay’s average is $14 million per season, while James Bradberry comes in at just under $12.6 million heading into 2023.
