Drew Brees is currently one of the league's best players and hopes to secure at least one more championship before calling it quits. The quarterback played a good part of his career with the Chargers before heading to the New Orleans Saints.

Eli Manning has one of the more complicated legacies of the players you will find on this list. The franchise QB for the New York Giants, Manning beat Tom Brady twice in Super Bowls and earned millions during his career.

ADVERTISEMENT

Despite his accomplishments, there are still questions about how good of a QB Manning really was. Love him or hate him, his success in the Super Bowl, and a few pricey endorsement deals, secured his estimated $150 million net worth.

John Elway spent his entire 16-year career with the Denver Broncos. During his run as the team's starting QB, he started five Super Bowls, winning back-to-back championships before retiring. Since then, his net worth has ballooned to $145 million.

Try as he might, Elway couldn't stay away from the game, and after several successful ventures were in the books, he joined the Broncos' front off as team president, a position he has used to win a third Super Bowl championship.

Russell Wilson - $135 Million

Russell Wilson is one of the NFL's highest-paid QBs, earning roughly $35 million a season to play for the Seattle Seahawks. Worth every penny, Wilson rarely misses the playoffs and has won the Super Bowl once.

ADVERTISEMENT

Off the field, Wilson has become his own brand. Add that revenue in with his mega endorsement deals with major food and clothing companies and it's not hard to see how this superstar has a super large net worth!

Aaron Rodgers - $120 Million

The face of the Green Bay Packers for over a decade, Aaron Rodgers is worth a reported $120 million. With one Super Bowl championship and two NFL MVP awards to his name, Rodgers earns every penny of his lofty salary.

Helping boost his net worth off the field is his sponsorship with State Farm Insurance. How many times a day do you see him during a commercial break interacting with Jake?

Now that we've talked about his successor, let's break down Brett Favre's net worth. Considered one of the greatest QBs of all-time, Favre played in the NFL for 20 years for the Falcons, Packers, Jets, and Vikings.

When he retired, Favre was the NFL's all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns. His long career, and endorsement deals with Wrangler Jeans and Copper Fit, have helped the Hall of Famer earn an estimated net worth of $100 million.

The winner of four Super Bowls during his legendary tenure with the San Francisco 49ers, Joe Montana is worth a reported $100 million. Like Staubach, much of Montana's wealth came after he retired.

ADVERTISEMENT

Montana has his own successful wine label and listed his massive estate in 2009 for $49 million, a fitting number all things considered. Montana, unlike Steve Young, has mostly stayed out of the public eye since leaving the world of professional sports behind.

Ben Roethlisberger - $100 Million

Over the last two decades, Ben Roethlisberger has been nothing short of sensational for the Pittsburgh Steelers. When he's been healthy, the team has been a perennial Super Bowl contender. And when he's been hurt, it's been the opposite story.

ADVERTISEMENT

His long career has led to a healthy bank account, along with a bloated net worth of $100 million. With a few years left in his tank, we expect that lofty number to keep growing, too.

Fran Tarkenton - $100 Million

Fran Tarkenton built his $100 million net worth on a media career and business acumen that served him well after his 18 year NFL career. For a brief period, Tarkenton worked as a color analyst for Monday Night Football.

He also was the founder of Tarkenton Software, a company specializing in generating computer programs. Not one to settle for one business, the Minnesota legend also owns $40 million worth of stocks in Apple Computers.

You might be surprised to see Joe Flacco on this list, but he's earned his place. After winning the Super Bowl in 2013 and going on a historic postseason run, Baltimore rewarded him with the richest contract in NFL history.

ADVERTISEMENT

Flacco didn't exactly live up to the contract, but that didn't stop his net worth from climbing. After burning through his goodwill in Baltimore, Flacco became a Bronco. In 2020, he signed a deal to play for the New York Jets.

Cam Newton - $75 Million

Cam Newton became a superstar with the Carolina Panthers, winning one NFL MVP and appearing in the Super Bowl once. If it wasn't for a shoulder injury, the uber-talented Newton may have been high on this list.

ADVERTISEMENT

Still one of the most exciting players in the league, Newton isn't as explosive as he used to be, but he's proven to be a valuable player for the New England Patriots. With his salary and endorsements added together, Newton is worth an estimated $75 million.

Tony Romo - $70 Million

Romo is now known as one of the best analysts in the industry and has used his media career to gain multi-million dollar endorsement deals. Today, it's estimated that he is worth about $70 million.

Taken by the Atlanta Falcons with the 3rd overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, Matt Ryan has been the team's franchise QB ever since. He has reached one Super Bowl and been named the NFL MVP once.

For all his accomplishments, Ryan has been well-paid by the Falcons. In 2018, he became the first player in NFL history to have a $30 million a year salary after signing a massive extension.

Kirk Cousins was the first player in NFL history to sign a fully guaranteed contract when he left the Washington Football Team for the Minnesota Vikings. A few years into his deal, the Vikings extended his contract, showing their commitment to Cousins as their franchise player.

With a reported net worth of $70 million, Cousins is one of the wealthiest players in the NFL. Still young, we expect his worth to rise as long as he continues to play at a near-elite level.

After signing a mind-boggling 10-year contract extension worth more than $400 million with the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes' $30 million net worth is going to blow up. The young star already has won a Super Bowl and league MVP.

An endorsement deal with State Farm has helped increase Mahomes' net worth, as well another high profile investment. Shortly after signing his massive extension, the QB bought an ownership piece of the Kansas City Royals.

Terry Bradshaw won four Super Bowls during his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Matching Joe Montana with big game wins hasn't meant the same for his net worth, though. A stable career on television as a Fox analyst has helped Bradshaw's net worth rise to $25 million.

Just being an analyst isn't enough for Bradshaw, who also has a reality show following his life with his daughters, which airs on E!
