I cannot believe how much money Brock Osweiler made in the NFL. As a quarterback, Osweiler earned over $135 million in his career. That’s more money than I make in many lifetimes! That’s not including his endorsements and bonuses. On top of that, when he got traded, his salary quadrupled.
I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise that he made as much money. Osweiler was a highly regarded prospect and had solid stats while playing at Arizona State University. He was selected in the second round of 2012 NFL Draft and signed a four-year contract worth $3.516 million with the Denver Broncos. He then went on to sign a second, four-year contract for $72 million with the Houston Texans. It gets even better, he then later signed a one-year deal with the Denver Broncos for a staggering $16 million.
That’s a ton of money for playing the same game I like to play, football. It didn’t come easy for him though. He’s had his fair share of injuries and his post-Denver career hasn’t been as good as his pre-Denver career. It’s amazing how much money he made despite the injuries and not playing at the high level he was achieving when he first entered the NFL.
So how exactly did this guy make so much money? As previously mentioned, Osweiler was highly regarded as one of the top prospects when he entered the league. He was also very versatile since he could play both quarterback and wide receiver. He was picked by the Denver Broncos in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
He was one of the NFLs highest earners right out of college and his salary quadrupled when he was traded to the Houston Texans. He was then signed by the Arizona Cardinals, followed by the Miami Dolphins, and then the Denver Broncos again. During his time with the Texans he was the highest paid player in the NFL and he still gets paid a lot to this day.
When it comes to Brock Osweiler’s career earnings, it is truly staggering. He made a total of $135 million in his NFL career, and that’s just from his salary. If his endorsements and bonuses were included that number would be substantially higher. As amazing as it is, $135 million is still a small fraction of the money that some of the other NFL stars have earned.
It is hard to fathom how much money Brock Osweiler has made in the NFL. He entered the league as a highly regarded prospect and he’s had plenty of success. He’s had some injuries and his career hasn’t been as successful as it once was, but despite that, he’s still managed to make an absurd amount of money. I guess it just goes to show how lucrative the NFL can be.
