As we approach the start of the 2019-2020 NFL season, it is always a worthwhile idea to check in on the quarterbacks of the league to see what they are getting paid this year and how long they are under contract. There is no position more valuable than the QB in football, and it is of high importance to know where they stand especially prior to placing your bets on NFL games over the next several months.

Some players such as Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys are still on their rookie contracts, and they will be playing incredibly hard to establish their value in the league especially when he turns down a $30 million/year deal seeking to climb this list as high as possible. Other quarterbacks like Joe Flacco have been so overly paid that they might care more about preserving their body than reaching out for that extra yard in order to move the chains.

This list is not by any means indicative of the best quarterbacks in football from top to bottom, but the rankings in salary can tell you quite a bit of information necessary prior to placing your wagers on NFL  games.
