The second highest paid position in the NFL is actually the left offensive tackle at an average yearly salary of $5.5 million. Why so much? Because he has the job of protecting the blind side of the highest paid player in the NFL, the quarterback.

The Place Kicker / Punter position has the lowest franchise tender in the NFL at $4,835,000. The franchise tender is based on the average top five salaries in the NFL.

It is less than half of the nearest franchise tender, for tight ends which is $9,780,000.
