Fat Bear Week For Sports? Plus, Highest Paid NFL Players

Quarterback scarcity, league expansion leverage, and marquee franchises crossing $1B revenue underscore rising valuations across major sports leagues.

• Mahomes still king: Patrick Mahomes tops the NFL earnings list at ~$57M on-field plus ~$32M endorsements, the dual leader both on and off the field.
• QB pay skews the list: The first 15 highest-paid NFL players are all quarterbacks (including struggling Baker Mayfield and Deshaun Watson), showing pay reflects positional scarcity, not performance ranking; highest-paid non-QB is Micah Parsons at ~$45M total.
