The NFL's quarterback market has exploded over the last decade, and with good reason. Quarterback is the most important position in the league and no team wants to get stuck with spotty play from its signal-caller. Let's have a look at the highest QBs in history. [{ "selector": ".ttsci-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".uobxb-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(-175px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".ercrd-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 321px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Drew Brees

[{ "selector": ".mlmas-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".qpxnq-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

Brees was No. 1 on this list when he retired after the 2020 season. Just a year later, his career-earnings mark and his career passing-yards record were both surpassed -- by the same longtime rival. His highest-earning was noted as $270 million. [{ "selector": ".mcdor-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 485px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Matt Ryan

[{ "selector": ".czpwp-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".dadil-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

Ryan led the Atlanta Falcons to 2017's Super Bowl LI. He didn't win a ring, but he did net a five-year contract extension. Matt Ryan's highest earnings were noted as $292 million.

Matthew Stafford

[{ "selector": ".ejkll-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".plxgc-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

As a starting QB for the Detroit Lions, Stafford went 0-3 in playoff appearances. But following a trade, Stafford justified his big-money paydays with a Super Bowl victory for the Los Angeles Rams. His highest career earning was noted as $301 million.

Packers Aaron Rodgers needs no introduction, and he is considered one of the best Quarterbacks of NFL. His noted career earning is $306 million.

Do you think Brady really needs any introduction? The NFL GOAT Tom Brady has no match even on the verge of his retirement. His highest career earning was noted as $333 million.
