Ranking the top 33 right guards in the NFL by annual salary

The Seattle Seahawks have the worst offensive line in the league this year according to some analysts, including ESPN’s Mike Clay. While we’d rather have a stronger unit on paper, one benefit of this group being bad is that it comes extraordinarily cheap. With the exception of veteran left guard Laken Tomlinson (who’s playing on a one-year, $1.2 million deal), all of Seattle’s projected starters are on their rookie contracts. Today let’s see how the best right guards in the league stack up.

Here’s how the top 33 right guards in the NFL rank by annual salary, including Christian Haynes and Anthony Bradford. All contract numbers are from Over the Cap.
