Someone missing? Yup. Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady's perennially team-friendly contract ranks No. 22 on this list. His current deal with the Patriots, which expires in 2019, included $30 million in guarantees and averages $15 million per year in this reckoning. The other missing name here is the Falcons' Matt Ryan, whose APY ($20.75M) falls just $10,000 short of Newton's.

Most of this list is composed of 3-4 outside linebackers, who are pass-rushers and thus the most valuable.
Dont'a Hightower was the best player at this position to hit free agency, and he wound up returning to the Patriots at an APY of $8.875 million.
