Highest-paid NFL WRs of all time by AAV
#3 - DeAndre Hopkins, Arizona Cardinals - $27.25 million
Before the 2022 NFL offseason, DeAndre Hopkins held the title of the highest-paid wide receiver by AAV by a fairly wide margin. He has now been surpassed by two other wide receivers, currently checking in at a third place.
Hopkins has been dominant throughout his career with both the Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans. He has played for nine seasons while eclipsing 100 receptions in four of them and exceeding 1,150 receiving yards six times.
#2 - Davante Adams, Las Vegas Raiders - $28 million
Davante Adams played his entire NFL career with the Green Bay Packers before being traded to the Las Vegas Raiders during the 2022 offseason after reportedly being unhappy with being franchise tagged. He will now join Derek Carr, who he played college football with at Fresno State.
Immediately following the trade, the Raiders gave Davante Adams a brand new contract that made him the highest-paid wide receiver of all time with both AAV and total overall value. He has been selected to five straight Pro Bowls and two consecutive first-team All-Pros.
#1 - Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins - $30 million
Davante Adams held the title of highest-paid wide receiver for just a couple of weeks before being surpassed by Tyreek Hill, the current top earner at the position. Like Adams, Hill was traded during the 2022 NFL offseason and received a massive contract extension before ever playing a game for his new team, the Miami Dolphins.
Tyreek Hill has established himself as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL across his six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in all six years while also being a first-team All-Pro in three of them.
