Anew season in the NFL begins and therefore a new race to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The goal is to reach Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026 in Santa Clara, California. The opening game is Cowboys vs. Eagles, which takes place this morning. There are several candidates to win the championship, but what no franchise can do without is a guaranteed quarterback to lead their offense.
Linebacker Micah Parsons has joined the Green Bay Packers in a spectacular trade on a four-year, $186 million contract. The deal makes Parsons the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, with an average salary of $46.5 million per year.

As always, QBs are the highest paid in the league. Dak Prescott became the NFL’s most prominent contract player when he signed his extension on the eve of the Cowboys’ Week 1 game against the Browns last season. The four-year, $240 million deal was the culmination of a complicated preseason in which Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was reluctant to pay Prescott… but he did and his player remains at the top of the earnings list.
T.J. Watt signed a three-year, $123 million extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers. With $41 million annually, Watt’s deal surpassed Myles Garrett‘s record among defenders at the time. Then Ja’Marr Chase became another illustrious member of the defensive club to break into the overall ‘top 20’.
