LaDainian Tomlinson is the highest paid running back in the NFL as of the 2004 season. He is paid $5.5 million, and is expected to be paid $6.5 in 2005.
According to USA Today, the highest paid defensive player in 2009 was Kelvin Hayden, cornerback for the Colts, who earned $17,480,000. Julius Peppers, defensive end for the Panthers, earned $16,683,000. Chris Long, defensive end for the Rams, earned $16,592,280.
