Highest Paying NFL Teams

The NFL pays out the highest amount of total salaries in the world with a whopping collective of $6.7 million in 2022! This is shared among all 1,486 players in the NFL making the overall average salary for a player in the NFL just over $4.5 million. With each team in the NFL playing seventeen games a season that is an average of $260,000 per game played. That kind of income can buy a lot of cheeseburgers. However, the average is heavily skewed by the biggest contracts in the league. The median salary for an NFL player is $860,000, which, while still an obscene amount of money, paints a more accurate picture of the typical compensation for an NFL player. Below is a chart listing the annual salaries of all the teams in the NFL in 2023: Rank Team Average Annual Salary 1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers $7,116,617 2 Miami Dolphins $6,189,379 3 San Francisco 49ers $6,066,029 4 Jacksonville Jaguars $6,000,106 5 Kansas City Chiefs $5,958,323 6 Buffalo Bills $5,934,710 7 Los Angeles Chargers $5,806,316 8 New Orleans Saints $5,586,339 9 Minnesota Vikings $5,010,072 10 Dallas Cowboys $4,992,801 11 Seattle Seahawks $4,991,376 12 New York Jets $4,830,275 13 Cleveland Browns $4,612,904 14 Carolina Panthers $4,603,567 15 Tennessee Titans $4,598,790 16 Los Angeles Rams $4,516,079 17 Detroit Lions $4,446,446 18 Pittsburgh Steelers $4,363,283 19 Cincinnati Bengals $4,353,933 20 Arizona Cardinals $4,213,586 21 Baltimore Ravens $4,171,070 22 Las Vegas Raiders $4,156,681 23 Green Bay Packers $4,064,373 24 New York Giants $3,985,066 25 Philadelphia Eagles $3,932,774 26 Houston Texans $3,928,207 27 Indianapolis Colts $3,905,025 28 Denver Broncos $3,858,597 29 Washington Commanders $3,735,003 30 New England Patriots $3,249,909 31 Atlanta Falcons $2,933,939 32 Chicago Bears $2,294,532 If you’re an NFL fan and want to get an edge on your betting strategies check out our video guide on how to bet on the NFL.

Highest Paying MLS Teams

Given Major League Soccer’s popularity deficit in the US is it not surprising that financially they are well behind other more established leagues such as the NFL and NBA when it comes to salaries, but when it comes to popularity Soccer is a rising star. According to a study reported on by Forbes MLS has experienced a 27% rise in popularity since 2012 with more and more high schools across the nation opting to create soccer programs every year. This rise in popularity coupled with younger generations having an exciting new alternative to football will continue the growing trend of soccer’s overall popularity in the US. The competitive nature of Americans will inevitably lead to MLS teams one day going overseas with greater frequency to test their mettle against the well established “old guard” teams of the European leagues.

Here is a chart listing the overall average annual salaries in MLS:

Rank Team Average Annual Salary 1 Toronto FC $1,108,066 2 LA Galaxy $760,901 3 Los Angeles FC $681,700 4 Atlanta United FC $602,430 5 Chicago Fire $592,929 6 Inter Miami FC $589,365 7 Seattle Sounders FC $537,378 8 Columbus Crew $537,017 9 D.C. United $535,987 10 Houston Dynamo $529,995 11 New England Revolution $517,402 12 Austin FC $502,701 13 Sporting Kansas City $494,499 14 FC Dallas $459,276 15 FC Cincinnati $447,915 16 Vancouver Whitecaps FC $414,694 17 New York City FC $397,528 18 CF Montreal $391,746 19 New York Red Bulls $390,063 20 Real Salt Lake $382,356 21 Orlando City $372,081 22 San Jose Earthquakes $367,988 23 Charlotte FC $363,990 24 Nashville SC $363,245 25 Philadelphia Union $355,244 26 Colorado Rapids $349,445 27 Portland Timbers $347,952 28 Minnesota United FC $342,823 Gain an upper-hand on the sportsbooks by checking out our video guide on how to bet on the MLS.
