Richard Sherman, Josh Norman, Trumaine Johnson, Jalen Ramsey, Janoris Jenkins and Darrelle Revis. In terms of total cash, these are the only cornerbacks in the NFL that will receive more money than Stephon Gilmore this season — according to Spotrac.
That makes Gilmore the 7th highest paid cornerback in the league this year, pitting him up with the best corners in football right now. Noticeable names under him are: Joe Haden, Patrick Peterson, Eli Apple, Aqib Talib and Adam-Pacman Jones. Ronald Darby, the breakout rookie cornerback last season lining up across from Gilmore, will be making $642,713.
