  • Patrick Mahomes has the highest QB cap hit in 2023 (just shy of $50 million).
  • Several players had their contracts reworked of late.

While cap space isn’t the end all be all to having success in the NFL, having money to work with and spend certainly helps a team’s NFL playoff odds and NFL odds overall.

When it comes to the quarterback position, some of the best players are the ones with the highest cap hits (all according to Spotrac).
