It will be several years before we know how much of the new 7-year, $126 million contract Jay Cutler will receive from the Bears as only $54 million is guaranteed. However, as of now, we do know that Cutler is the highest-paid player in the NFL.
Cutler's will have a base salary of $22.5 million in 2014 according to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com. If the 2014 season started today, that would be the highest salary in the NFL by a wide margin, easily outpacing Eli Manning who is scheduled to make $15.2 million next season.
