Who is the highest-paid offensive tackle in the NFL? See 2022 salary rankings

It’s often said that football games are won or lost in the trenches. Ask Patrick Mahomes or Joe Burrow about each of their last Super Bowl appearances and they might agree. On the offensive side of the ball, the big bucks go to the big boys protecting their quarterback's blind side.

The highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history, Trent Williams, is a left tackle. The second-highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history, David Bakhtiari is also a left tackle. Both signed their deals in the last two years.
