“The Atlanta Falcons had the highest average annual player salary in the 2019/20 season – each of their players took home an average of 4.71 million U.S. dollars. In comparison, the team with the lowest wage bill, the Miami Dolphins with an average annual revenue of 2.05 million U.S. dollars per player in 2019/20 . The New England Patriots, who have dominated the NFL in recent years, had a surprisingly average wage bill coming in at an average of 3.21 million U.S. dollars per player, 16th on the list.”
There’s only a very small segment of players over paid .
About 80% of the league makes about 1 million or less and why the leagues averages are around 3 million a player. Too many fans only want to bash the guys who are at the top but most of the league is around the bottom. Which means professional players aren’t over paid. Only the Stars.
