10 Richest NFL Players Of All Time

8. Michael Vick - $120,241,000 (£81,145,000)

From Number 1 Overall pick in the 2001 draft to 21 months in prison after being implicated in an illegal dog-fighting scandal, it's safe to say that Michael Vick has endured a rocky career to say the least. With such high hopes surrounding the former-Virginia Tech star, he was snapped up by the Atlanta Falcons on a eye-watering contract worth up to $135 million over 10 years. Vick repaid the Falcons with an even 15-15 record and a 54% pass completion rate. After his release from prison, he signed for the Philadelphia Eagles on a far cheaper deal, and he's now hanging onto the end of a 1-year deal with the New York Jets worth $4 million, but it looks as though he'll be a free agent before long.
