Randy Moss is number one for 2004. His salary also has many performance boneses and does not include endorsements which could take him higher than his team salary. ----- For the 2006 season, Reggie Wayne of the Indianapolis Colts was the highest paid wide receiver at $15,000,000.
The highest paid NFL players in 2006 were: * Richard Seymour ($24,691,160) * Drew Brees ($22,000,000) * Bryant McKinnie ($17,500,000) Please note that NFL salaries are often extremely strange because of the way teams and players work around salary cap issues. To take the case of Drew Brees (since Richard Seymour's case was a trickier contract extension), Brees $22,000,000 earnings in 2006 is part of a 6 year contract that "only" pays an average of $10 million per year, but includes over $20 million in options and bonuses that were paid out in 2006. The other $38 million is spread (unevenly) over the other 5 years of the contract. None of those players are among 2007's highest paid players, since their 2006 salary does not represent the annual value of their contract, but rather the bonuses, options, and salary collected in one particular year, usually the first year of the contract.
