An old article from last offseason, but interesting anyways!
Median salaries
Punters and kickers have the highest median NFL salaries because few teams have backups. Median salaries by position.
Punter/Kicker $631,040
Defensive end $600,958
Quarterback $593,667
Offensive line $589,133
Cornerback $563,200
Defensive tackle $513,880
Linebacker $513,360
Wide receiver $512,000
Safety $501,580
Running back $479,241
Tight end $477,280
Who would have thunk that the skinny geeks on the team average the highest average salary.
Now obviously, the other positions like RB are skewed. Your average 1,000 yard rusher Like LaDamien Tomlinson make 8 million, but the 2-3 guys behind him all make peanuts.
