The NFL lost two of its best centers to retirement this offseason. First, Jason Kelce of the Eagles walked away from the game after making seven Pro Bowl teams, earning six All-pro nods and winning one Super Bowl. Later, Corey Linsley of the Chargers also retired due to a medical issue.

Let’s see how their contracts compare with the rest of the starters at this position. Here are the NFL’s top 32 centers ranked by their annual salary per Over the Cap.
