25. Dwight Freeney – $96.1 million

unnamed-12

Freeney’s biggest deal came in 2007 when he signed a six-year, $72 million deal with the Indianapolis Colts. Amazingly enough, Freeney has managed to stick around ever since, recording eight sacks for the Cardinals last year. With 119.5 career sacks, Freeney has earned his spot on this list and the career-high $30.8 million he made back in 2007.

About The Author
My name is Nick and I love sports. I went to school for sports writing and I have loved sports for as long as I can remember.
I've always loved competition. There is no more pure way to measure the meddle of skilled competitors than on the playing field of the sports at which they love most.
From NCAA football to the NFL Pro Bowl, I love football! But that's not where my love for sports ends. I competed for my schools Lacrosse team during my time in college and even spent some time coaching during the time spent attaining my masters in sports journalism.
If you have a passion for sports like I do - you're in the right place!
