NFL 2022: Biggest contract bargain at every position
Which NFL players are the biggest contract bargain at their position? Some teams are getting an absolute steal with players playing well above their deal.
As many players across the NFL begin to write new history with the massive contracts they are signing, some players are still giving teams plenty of bang for their buck.
Many massive deals are still on the near horizon, but for the 2022 NFL season, we can look at a variety of contracts and tip our collective caps to the executives in charge of some of the more reasonable deals out there.
Let’s take a look at the biggest bargain contracts in the NFL at every position, starting with a player you may recognize at the game’s most important position.
Biggest NFL contract bargain at QB: Tom Brady
Average salary: $15 million (one-year deal)
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. NFC South. Tom Brady. QB. player. 48
Tom Brady has made over $300 million as an NFL quarterback.
That’s not all that surprising, given he has been in the league for close to 300 years.
All kidding aside, it’s rather impressive that the Buccaneers were able to convince Brady to take a one-year deal for $15 million, but it shouldn’t be surprising considering that’s pretty much how Brady has always operated.
He’s always wanted his team to be the best it could possibly be, and he’s not hurting financially as a result.
In fact, you could argue it’s the preferable strategy, given how wildly successful Brady and his teams have been through the years.
Still, getting Brady at $15 million for this season is a sweet deal for the Buccaneers. Imagine being a sneakerhead and being able to get a grail for retail price.
That’s essentially what the Bucs have done here.
Jimmy Garoppolo’s average salary is nearly double that of Brady’s.
