Trevor Lawrence - English
Tua Tagovailoa - English
The NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks in 2025 are raking in massive contracts, but none of them have a Super Bowl ring to their name, despite their hefty paychecks. With Brock Purdy recently joining the elite list following his new deal with the San Francisco 49ers, the top 10 earners, based on average annual value (AAV), are a talented bunch-yet the ultimate prize remains elusive for all of them. Of these quarterbacks, only three have reached the Super Bowl, and each walked away without the trophy.
Leading the pack is Dallas Cowboys‘ Dak Prescott, with an AAV of $60 million from his four-year, $240 million extension signed in 2024. Tied for second are Green Bay‘s Jordan Love, Jacksonville‘s Trevor Lawrence, and Cincinnati‘s Joe Burrow, each earning $55 million annually.
INSIDE THE CHIEFS’ EMPIRE
Purdy now joins this elite group, securing a five-year, $265 million contract with the 49ers on May 16, as reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, giving him an AAV of $53 million. “ESPN Sources: 49ers and quarterback Brock Purdy are finalizing a five-year, $265 million contract,” Schefter shared, marking Purdy’s rise from “Mr. Irrelevant” to one of the NFL’s top earners.
Rounding out the top 10 are Baltimore‘s Lamar Jackson ($52 million AAV), Josh Allen ($55 million), Detroit‘s Jared Goff ($50 million), Dolphins‘ Tua Tagovailoa ($53 million), and the Chargers‘ Justin Herbert ($52.5 million). These figures, compiled from Spotrac data and Over The Cap, highlight the premium teams place on quarterback talent, yet none of these players have hoisted the Lombardi Trophy.
Who Could Be the Surprise Team This Year in the NFL?
No rings for riches
Only three of these quarterbacks have even reached the Super Bowl. Purdy led the 49ers to Super Bowl LVIII in 2024 but fell 25-22 to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime. Joe Burrow took the Bengals to Super Bowl LVI in 2022, losing 23-20 to the Los Angeles Rams. Jared Goff, while with the Rams in 2019, reached Super Bowl LIII but was defeated 13-3 by the New England Patriots. Fans on X have noted the trend, with one user posting, “Top-paid QBs with no Super Bowl wins-money can’t buy that ring!”
The other seven-Prescott, Love, Lawrence, Jackson, Herbert, Tagovailoa and Allen-have yet to make a Super Bowl appearance, despite their impressive regular-season performances. Prescott, for instance, has a 3-5 playoff record, while Jackson’s 2-4 postseason mark has drawn scrutiny. As these quarterbacks continue to chase glory, their massive contracts fuel debates about whether big money guarantees championships, with history showing that even the highest-paid stars face a steep climb to Super Bowl success.
