The highest and lowest paid players in every NFL position

 The NFL salary cap creates challenges as teams try to build championship rosters. Below is a list of some of the highest and lowest paid players in each position heading into the 2022 season. Salaries are based on limited hits from Spotrac.com.

Underpaid tight finish: Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers

Freiermuth looked like a steal for the Steelers during his rookie season, as the second-round pick caught 60 497-yard passes and seven touchdowns. His rookie deal only needs a cap of nearly $1.4 million this year.

Overpaid Tight Ending: Jonnu Smith, New England Patriots

New England's signing of Smith was unsuccessful in his first season with the team. Titan previously had just 28 catches for 294 yards last year, but his cap hits nearly $13.7 million this year, the second-highest in the league among tight finishes. .

Tackling the underpaid attack: Rashawn Slater, Los Angeles Chargers

As a first-round rookie last year, it didn't take long for Slater to gain recognition among the game's elite tight players as a Pro pitcher. He only made $3.8 million for the Chargers this season.

Tackling the High Paying Offensive: Ronnie Stanley, Baltimore Ravens

Stanley was an All-Pro in 2019, but he hasn't been able to stay healthy since, playing a total of seven games over two seasons. He's still making quite a bit of money, with a cap of more than $18.5 million this year.

  Underpaid Attack Protection: Trey Smith, Chief of Kansas City

Smith dropped to the sixth round of last year's draft due to health concerns even though he's a former elite tennis player at Tennessee. He's rewarded Kansas City for taking risks as an assault guard, and his cap is around $850,000 this season.

Highly Paid Offensive Guard: Gabe Jackson, Seattle Seahawks

Seattle bought Jackson to bolster their attack last year, but he struggled for most of the season. Despite those difficulties, Jackson is one of the highest-paid bodyguards in the league with a $9 million cap this season.

Low Pay Center: Creed Humphrey, Chief of Kansas City

Picked in the second round last year, Humphrey had a remarkable rookie season as an All-Pro, who finished third in the offensive Rookie of the Year poll. The center will have a cap of less than $1.3 million.
