Matt Stafford is currently tied for the 7th highest average salary at $40M/yr with Dak Prescott and Daniel Jones. Note that both Jones ($82M) and Prescott ($95M) got more guaranteed money than Stafford ($63M) so in my book Stafford should be 9th.
Ahead of Stafford: Rodgers, Wilson, Murray, Watson, Mahomes, and Allen.
And soon to pass Stafford: Jackson (as soon as he signs his 2023 deal), Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert. And perhaps one or two more depending how the next season or 2 go.
