With the NFL offseason here, it’s almost the time of year when players sign new contacts, and with that, break the bank. It seems every offseason the market rises, especially when it comes to quarterbacks.
This past season, more than 60 signal-callers were paid at least $1 million, with some names coming as more of a surprise than others. For example, one Super Bowl quarterback ranks outside of the top 60 players on the list.
