It’s official. In terms of annual average salary, Daniel Jones is the seventh-highest paid player in the NFL.
His four year, $160 million contract extension pays him as much per season as NFC counterparts Dak Prescott and Matthew Stafford. He’ll take home $82 million in guarantees — more than all but seven other players in the league and more than three times as much as he earned to go 21-31-1 in four years as a starting quarterback. He earned this contract after throwing 15 touchdown passes in 16 games in 2022. He ranked second-to-last among qualified starters with an average pass distance of just 6.4 yards downfield.
