Offensive lineman Trent<\/strong> Williams<\/strong> also avoided the rookie wage scale and signed a second contract with Washington, putting him atop the franchise\u2019s list (although he\u2019ll likely be passed by Terry<\/strong> McLaurin<\/strong> and Daron<\/strong> Payne<\/strong> this upcoming season). Then, following his move to the 49ers, Williams became the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history when he signed a six-year, $138.06MM extension.

The Chiefs handed Patrick Mahomes essentially the most lucrative extension in NFL history earlier this offseason, signing their star QB to an eight-year, $504.75MM extension. When Mahomes finally ends up calling it a profession, the Chiefs will likely have paid him greater than any franchise has ever paid a single player.
