The competition for the title of the NFL’s highest-paid player saw some new players join the ranks this offseason.

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys finalized a four-year contract worth $240 million just as the NFL’s regular season kicked off. This agreement makes him the first player in the league to earn $60 million annually, landing him at the top of the highest-paid player list.

Prescott’s contract follows an offseason where Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars signed a five-year extension worth $275 million, and Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers secured a four-year extension for $220 million, matching the substantial terms of Joe Burrow’s five-year, $275 million deal from the previous year.

As reported by OverTheCap.com, every one of the top 18 players in the NFL based on average yearly salary are quarterbacks. Justin Jefferson, a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings, broke this trend with a four-year extension worth $140 million this offseason, surpassing Nick Bosa of the San Francisco 49ers to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league.
