When Justin Jefferson signed a four-year, $140 million extension with the Minnesota Vikings last summer, the $35 million average annual value of his contract made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
Since then, of course, he's dropped to fifth on that list, as Ja'Marr Chase ($40.25 million), Myles Garrett ($40 million), Danielle Hunter ($35.6 million), and Maxx Crosby ($35.5 million) have all surpassed him.
Nevertheless, the four-time All-Pro is making some colossal coin, and one would naturally assume that with that big-money contract kicking in this year, he'd be the highest-paid player on his own team for the 2025 season.
