  • Super Bowl LIX is on February 9, with the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles competing.<\/li>\n
  • Win or lose, the two teams’ players will each earn over $100,000.<\/li>\n
  • The money is on top of huge contracts, with some players earning tens of millions each year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It pays to win the Super Bowl, but the losing team gets a nice chunk of cash, too. Win or lose, some of the players have huge contracts that earned them millions of dollars in the 2024 NFL season.<\/p>\n

    The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will compete in Super Bowl LIX on February 9. While Kansas City is favored to win, it’s really anyone’s game.<\/p>\n

    In addition to earning a Super Bowl ring and making the history books, players profit financially from clinching the win.<\/p>\n

    The rates for this year’s game were decided in the 2020 collective bargaining agreement. The winners get $178,000, while the losing team will take home $103,000 per player, $7,000 more than last year.<\/p>\n

    Those bonuses are on top of already hefty salaries for certain players. Some also have incentives or bonuses baked into their contracts for winning the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

    The mechanics of salaries, signing bonuses, and incentives can get complicated. Teams often restructure contracts to work within their salary cap so the player gets some of the cash as a signing bonus over several years, for example.<\/p>\n

    To keep things simple, here are the biggest contracts on the Eagles and the Chiefs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

    DeVonta Smith, 26, has a lot going on right now. In December, he announced on Instagram that he and his fianc\u00e9e, Mya Danielle, are expecting their second child. Just a few days later, the couple got engaged, according to Danielle’s Instagram post.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    At 34, Lane Johnson isn’t ready to retire just yet, but he recently told CBS Sports that he might quit before he’s 40.<\/p>\n

    Johnson is 6’6″ and has to eat 5,500 calories a day, including plenty of protein, to perform at his peak, The Athletic reported in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Landon Dickerson sat out the second half of the Philadelphia Eagles’ NFC Championship Game on January 26 because of a knee injury. However, he’s prepped to play in the Super Bowl, telling the Philadelphia Inquirer that “getting carted off on a stretcher” would be the only way to get him off the field.<\/p>\n

    That actually happened to him in 2020 during the SEC Championship Game when he tore his ACL while playing for the Alabama Crimson Tide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    AJ Brown, Eagles wide receiver: $96 million over three years<\/h2>\n

    In 2023, BI asked several Eagles players to name the fittest member of the team. Time and time again, the answer came back as AJ Brown. The 27-year-old is a “freakish athlete,” former defensive end Patrick Johnson said. “He’s one of those guys who’s just built different.”<\/p>\n

    When he’s not on the field, he’s focused on his two children and longtime girlfriend Kelsey Riley. “When I go home, I’m a father. When I’m in the building, I’m working,” he told reporter Josh Tolentino in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Two years ago, Jalen Hurts was one of the youngest quarterbacks to start in a Super Bowl game. Now 26, he’ll face the Chiefs again on February 9 and is hoping to avoid repeating what happened in 2023 when the Eagles lost to the Chiefs 35 to 38.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Creed Humphrey’s August 2024 deal made him the highest-paid center in the history of the NFL, making almost $4 million more per year than former Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce.<\/p>\n

    Humphrey, 25, grew up in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and is a Citizen Potawatomi Nation tribal member.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Joe Thuney almost didn’t have a football career at all. “I didn’t have a ton of offers because I was pretty skinny and I wasn’t that good,” he told the Raleigh News & Observer. He ended up at North Carolina State and went on to play for the New England Patriots and then the Chiefs.<\/p>\n

    The 32-year-old might earn his fifth Super Bowl ring on February 9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Born and raised in Florida, 27-year-old Jawaan Taylor spent most of his football career in the Sunshine State, playing at the University of Florida and then joining the Jacksonville Jaguars. He’s now with the Chiefs.<\/p>\n

    In 2023, he surprised his mom with a Bentley for Mother’s Day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Chris Jones, 30, has been a member of the Chiefs team since 2016 and is a three-time Super Bowl champ. As a seasoned pro, he has some advice for his teammates.<\/p>\n

    “Don’t play the game before the game,” he said during a recent press conference. “Have fun, but also know why you’re here.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    In January, Patrick Mahomes, 29, welcomed his third child with his wife, Brittany Mahomes.<\/p>\n

    While famous for his skills on the football field, Mahomes also had the chance to become a professional baseball player. The Detroit Tigers drafted him in 2014, but he didn’t accept and joined the Chiefs three years later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
