Who’s Getting Paid in 2026 NFL | NFL News
About this episode
Who’s really getting paid in the NFL for 2026? While quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes still top the list with massive salaries, some teams are shifting focus—investing big in edge rushers, wide receivers, and linemen. Players like Will Anderson Jr., T.J. Watt, Justin Jefferson, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are now commanding top dollar, proving that football’s biggest earners aren’t just under center. It’s a league-wide strategic chess match—where front offices decide whether to bet on QBs or build around other explosive talents. The 2026 salary landscape? Way more diverse than you think.
