The highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL all have one curious thing in common: no Super Bowl victories, and relatively little postseason success.
On Thursday, the Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to a massive five-year, $275 million extension with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, making him the highest-paid QB in the NFL on a per-year basis alongside Cincinnati Bengals signal-caller Joe Burrow.Lawrence and Burrow will each get $55 million per season, which is more than any of their peers in the NFL.With Lawrence now at the top of the charts, the highest-paid quarterback list needs some updating.
Herbert, who's only played one playoff game in his career, has zero career postseason wins in four seasons and was a part of a 27-point blown lead against Lawrence and the Jags.Jackson, a two-time MVP winner, has just two career playoff wins in six seasons.And Hurts, an MVP runner-up, has two career playoff wins in four seasons.So, the six highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL on a per-year basis have combined to play 29 seasons and win only 15 playoff games.
