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.

Juan Soto booed in return to Yankee Stadium
Deesha Thosar MLB Writer <!--> NEW YORK — The Subway Series always creates a buzz around here, and the buildup to this year’s crosstown rivalry had a higher level of spice to it. Not only are the Yankees and Mets in first place in their divisions, but the Bronx’s biggest villain, Juan Soto, made his first trip back to Yankee Stadium since he jettisoned for Queens. Yankees fans have waited for this day since early December. When the moment finally arrived, they packed out the house with the largest crowd (47,700) of the year, and then they let him hear it. The ear-splitting, guttural sounds were the loudest Soto had ever heard being directed at him. Still, he didn’t mind."You gotta embrace it," Soto said after the Mets lost, 6-2, to the Yankees on Friday night. "At the end of the […]

Ansage von PSG-Trainer Enrique – „Ich wünsche Ancelotti kein Glück mit Brasilien“
Die große Rivalität zwischen Real Madrid und Barcelona macht offenbar auch vor diesen beiden Trainer-Giganten nicht halt …Luis Enrique hat klare Worte zum neuen Job von Carlo Ancelotti (65) gefunden. Enrique, früherer Barça-Trainer und jetziger Coach von Paris Saint-Germain, wünscht dem Italiener – obwohl er ihn sehr schätze – in seiner zukünftigen Rolle als Brasiliens Nationaltrainer KEINEN Erfolg!Bei einer Pressekonferenz sagte Enrique: „Ich glaube nicht, dass es einen Trainer mit so vielen Titeln und Triumphen wie Ancelotti gibt. Er ist ein Gentleman – auf und neben dem Platz.“ Doch dann fügte der Spanier hinzu: „Ich wünsche Brasilien allerdings keinen Erfolg, weil ja klar ist, dass ich Spanien die Daumen drücke und Erfolg wünsche.“Trotzdem lobte Enrique die Entscheidung, Ancelotti als Seleção-Coach zu verpflichten: „Es ist großartig, einen so erfolgreichen italienischen Trainer bei einer legendären Mannschaft wie Brasilien zu sehen.

Pedro na reserva é estratégia ou falta de condição física? Entenda dilema de Filipe Luís no Flamengo
A principal mudança praticada por Filipe Luís na vitória do Flamengo sobre a LDU por 2 a 0, pela Libertadores, na quinta-feira, foi escalar Luiz Araújo no ataque e deixar Pedro iniciando no banco de reservas. A aposta se pagou, com o ponta marcando um gol e dando assistência para Léo Ortiz. Ao mesmo tempo, deixa no ar algumas dúvidas sobre a condição do centroavante, que retornou aos campos em abril após sete meses afastado com grave lesão no joelho. Pedro ainda está em fase de recondicionamento físico e a expectativa é que chegue 100% ao Mundial de Clubes, que começa em um mês. O jogador já tem quatro gols e uma assistência em nove jogos, mas passou em branco nos últimos quatro. Nas partidas diante de Bahia (Brasileirão), e LDU, Filipe optou por colocá-lo em campo apenas no segundo […]
The defensive improvement behind Aston Villa’s relentless top-five charge
Aston Villa’s league season can be separated into two sections — the first being rather limp.Six wins in 21 fixtures between September and February did little to suggest Villa could qualify for Europe — let alone the Champions League — again.Following a 4-1 battering at Crystal Palace on February 25th — in retrospect, a turning point — they had kept just three clean sheets in 28 league matches. Only Southampton and Chelsea had made more mistakes leading to an opponent’s shot.AdvertisementFrankly, Villa were stumbling along, with any sense of adrenaline achieved solely via the Champions League. Domestic form was sub-par and Villa were struck by a general malaise in possession and a porousness out of it.“We’ve had some good results but we’ve been far too inconsistent,” said John McGinn at the time. “We’ve been far too easy to score against.
