This summer, Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith, Calvin Ridley, and Jerry Jeudy inked contract extensions, per a graphic from the Next Round Show. Waddle, a former first-round selection of the Miami Dolphins, signed a three-year, $84.75 million contract with a $76 million guarantee, making him one of the highest paid receivers in the National Football League.
Waddle earns $28 million annually. The Philadelphia Eagles pay Smith, the 2020 Heisman Trophy winner, $25 million annually, while the Tennessee Titans pay Ridley $23 million. A cool $17.5 million is Jeudy’s annual salary from the Cleveland Browns.
