Derby:
The 2022 NFL All-Paid Team is a collection of the highest-paid players in the league at each position. It’s essentially an All-Pro team, but the pocketbook supersedes pedigree and production for the day.
Average per year (APY) is the most accepted measure of comparison for player contracts, so it’s what will be used for our purposes. Also, players who received the franchise tag are ineligible, due to the fixed nature of their salaries.

Golf Handicap:
Rodgers’ accolades span the length of his career, and he is still one of the handful of elite quarterbacks in the NFL. Rodgers has the highest touchdown-to-interception ratio in NFL history and already ranks fifth in career passing touchdowns with 449.
He’s won 13 games in each of his three seasons under head coach Matt LaFleur — the last two of which earned the quarterback league MVP awards.
Madden Cover:
Over those two seasons, Rodgers led the NFL in completion percentage (69.8) and passer rating (116.7) among QBs with 20-plus starts in that span.
With another MVP award in 2022, Rodgers would tie Brett Favre for the most consecutive honors (three) and Peyton Manning for the most in a career (five). A similar season sans All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams would give Rodgers plenty of momentum toward another MVP nod in 2022.
There are some discrepancies on the details of Rodgers’ new contract, but both Spotrac and Over The Cap have him with a $50.3 million average per year. When McCaffrey’s healthy, it’s hard to argue there’s a more productive running back in the NFL today. However, health has been a key concern for the soon-to-be 26-year-old. He’s played just 10 games over the last two seasons after playing all 48 in his first three campaigns. Calling McCaffrey a dual-threat is almost an understatement.
