At the conclusion of every NFL season, awards are handed out to individual players. Arguably, being named to the first team all-pro is the highest honor, aside from league MVP. However, many players would agree that being named to a different first team is their goal. Of course, I am talking about the all-paid team.
Whether it’s deserved or not, we cannot argue these massive contracts. For my lists below, I will only be taking their 2019 salaries into account, not the total value of their contracts. All contract information has been taken from spotrac.com.
With the fullback position being virtually nonexistent in today’s NFL, it’ll also be nonexistent in my list. Instead, our offensive lists will consist of three wide receivers. Defensively, we’ll organize it with a 4-3 scheme, but the outside linebackers will simply be the highest-paid at the position, whether they play in a 4-3 or not.
