Ranking the top 32 right tackles in the NFL by annual salary

The Seahawks have quite a bargain in starting right tackle Abe Lucas, who’s entering his third year in the league. His rookie contract has him under salary at less than $1.35 million per year, which doesn’t even rank in the top 50 earners at his position. If he can rebound from knee surgery and put in a full season, it will answer Seattle’s biggest question on offense and go a long way towards fielding a top-10 passing game. If he does bounce back, once his rookie deal is over Lucas is likely to command a fat new contract. To give you an idea of how much, here’s a look at what the top right tackles around the league are making.

Here’s how the top 32 rank in annual salary, according to Over the Cap.
