Ryan was recognized with the MVP Award in 2016 as along with four Pro Bowlers. Ryan led the Falcons to the Super Bowl in 2016 (his MVP season), and was only a few seconds away from winning his first Lombardi Trophy. Although the Falcons suffered a few setbacks as a whole in the year 2017, Ryan did well. The team rewarded him with an extension of five years, which is $150 million with 100 million guaranteed, which includes a signing bonus worth over $46 million.Of all professional leagues, the NFL's player contracts are perhaps the least player-friendly. Guaranteed contracts are almost impossible to come by, and with an average tenure of just three years, it can be difficult to earn an adequate amount of money - in the absence of being a quarterback or a star defensive player.Perhaps it's not a surprise then that eight of the top ten performers in the NFL are quarterbacks. The other two is a Super bowl MVP.Here's an analysis of the NFL players that appear on Forbes the list of athletes with the highest pay with the highest money from June 1 2017 through June 1st, 2018. These numbers include bonuses and all wages.
