Matthew Stafford is tied with Dak Prescott for the eighth-highest salary of any quarterback in the NFL at $40 million. He signed his current contract after the 2021 season, which ended in a Super Bowl win, but the value of that deal has come into question after he missed eight games and finished with just 10 touchdown passes.
ESPN used analytics to break down the biggest bargains at quarterback and which ones delivered the most value in 2022, but Stafford didn’t rank very highly on the list. He was slotted in with the “Established Starters Not On Rookie Deals” group, which is essentially a collection of quarterbacks who have already gotten a second contract and were starters this season.
