Eli Manning will remain the highest paid player in NFL history until Patrick Mahomes’ 10-year, $500 million contract extension reaches 2026

When legendary quarterback Eli Manning announced his retirement from the NFL in January, he finished his 16-year career with two Super Bowl rings, two Super Bowl MVPs, and the title of the highest-paid player in NFL history. The Ole Miss legend should not only find his name amongst the greats in Canton, Ohio in 2025, but will soon have his jersey hang from the rafters in Oxford, Mississippi.

Manning’s on-field prowess has made his name one not soon to be forgotten, but also made him quite a bit of dough— more than any other player in the history of the game.
