    6. Eli Manning

    Bottom Line

    In the end, it is interesting to note that while quarterbacks have consistently been some of the highest-paid players in the NFL, the amount of money they earn has gradually decreased in recent years. This may be due to several factors, such as injury risks and salary cap restrictions, or because teams are starting to realize that other positions on the field are just as important
