Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was the NFL's highest-paid player on Mach 2, 2016, when he signed a three-year extension worth $66.4 million guaranteed.
Just 23 months later, Flacco is getting close to dropping out of the top 10.
Flacco's $22.1 million per-year average dropped to No. 7 on Thursday after quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo agreed to a five-year, $137.5 million deal (an average of $27.5 million) with the San Francisco 49ers, according to the NFL Network. Flacco probably will fall further on the list after the likely bidding war for quarterback Kirk Cousins in free agency.
