Few jobs are as demanding as that of an NFL general manager. They are in charge of assembling a strong enough roster to qualify for the playoffs and even win the Super Bowl.
General managers are also first in the line of fire when a team performs below expectations. As such, they should get paid handsomely. Well, here's just how much GMs make per year.
How much do NFL General Managers make?
General managers typically make around $1 million per year on the lower end of the spectrum, up to $7.5 million. The wide range of pay is because some general managers are seasoned veterans while others are in their first few years as a GM. As such, they will need to prove their worth before they see a rise in pay.
It is also important to note that GMs are typically the highest-paid front-office staff in the National Football League. Hence, an applicant for the position of a GM with next to no experience cannot demand upper-level pay but will have to work up the ladder to earn the big bucks eventually. You will see the difference in experience; not every GM's cloth is cut equally.
Who are the highest-paid General Managers (GMs) in the NFL?
The role of a general manager is challenging, and it is only right that anyone entrusted with the role gets paid appropriately.

1. Bill Belichick, New England Patriots - $7.5 million
2. John Schneider, Seattle Seahawks - $3.75 million
3. John Elway, Denver Broncos - $3 million
4. Brian Getekunst, Green Bay Packers - $2.5 million
5. Ozzie Newsome, Baltimore Ravens - $2 million
