After a long and tense holdout, the Cowboys offered their star wide receiver a four-year, $136 million contract - an annual $39.2 million.

Quarterbacks still dominate as the highest-paid players in the league though, with the highest-paid out of all NFL players with Dak Prescott leading the field with 86.3 million.

List of highest-paid NFL players in 2024

Unsurprisingly, the top 18 highest-paid players in the league this year are all quarterbacks. Of all receivers, Lamb ranks second behind Jefferson, but on the list of players of all positions, he’s ranked at number 20 - still, not bad.
