There's a new highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.
Parsons was traded to the Packers in exchange for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark, and will sign with Green Bay on a four-year, $188 million deal with $136 million guaranteed. This contract makes him easily the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback in history,It's not surprising to see Parsons become the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL—he is very deserving of this honor.
Of course, it is surprising to see him do so with the Packers instead of the Cowboys, and to see him become the highest-paid non-quarterback by such a large margin.this year. After Garrett eclipsed Crosby's deal to reset the market earlier this offseason by becoming the first $40 million per-year non-quarterback, the younger Parsons resets the market again. While Chase and Watt each took deals that average no more than $1 million more per year than Garrett, Parsons is making an astounding $6 million more each year than any other non-quarterback in the league. He is likely to remain the highest-paid non-quarterback until at least next offseason.Eva Geitheim is a contributor to the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
