10 Richest NFL Players Of All Time

5. Drew Brees - $131,455,000 (£88,713,000)

Veteran QB Drew Brees was the last pick in the 2nd Round of the 2001 draft. Now, as he enters his 15th season, he's still going strong, even if the rest of his team aren't. Brees tied with Ben Roethlisberger at the top of the passing yards standings last season, after they both posted up exactly 4,952 yards, though Brees' record for most consecutive 30+ TD seasons remains unchallenged, as he continues to add to the tally which stands at seven. The one-time Super Bowl champ has lost a huge target this year after Jimmy Graham's trade to the Seahawks, but at least he can console himself with the last two years of an enormous $100 million contract.
