Aaron Donald is the NFL's highest-paid player in 2023
Aaron Donald, the Rams' defensive tackle, is the NFL's highest-paid player in 2023. He signed a three-year, $95 million contract extension in 2022, which includes a $50 million signing bonus. Donald is one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL, and he has been named to the Pro Bowl seven times and the All-Pro team nine times. He is also the two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
Donald's contract is just the latest example of the rising cost of NFL contracts. The average NFL salary has increased by more than 10% in each of the past five years. This is due in part to the NFL's growing popularity and the increasing amount of revenue that the league is generating. It is also due to the fact that there are more and more teams willing to pay top dollar for top players.
The NFL's salary cap is expected to continue to rise in the coming years. This means that we can expect to see even more players signing massive contracts in the future.
