5. Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints) – $160M
Drew Brees is not on a mission to stop his success trail anytime soon as he is still on the path of tearing apart defenses of opposing teams. The 41-year-old plays for the New Orleans Saints and has been throwing down nothing but greatness. To say the least, Brees is recorded as one of the best passers in the NFL.Brees fit in the place of Chargers quarterback Doug Flutie many times due to injuries, but when it comes to getting a starting position of his own, he has to fight his way through to getting there. Since 2004 when the club acquired Philip Rivers, it has been even harder for Brees. He would later leave Chargers and sign with the New Orleans Saints, and we have seen his works since. To date, his current net worth is $160 million.

4. Steve Young (San Francisco 49ers) -$200M
Steve Young is a longtime quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers and is one of the only NFL players who have successfully ventured into business. Before signing on with the 49ers, Young was in a contract deal with the Los Angeles Express of the USFL back in 1984.When that league collapsed, Young went on to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but was later transferred to San Francisco. This move saw him playing as Joe Montana’s backup for three years, and as time went by, he would become one of the best starters, especially after the 1992 season. However, Young had to retire in 1999 after many injuries and continued concussions. His current net worth is $200 million.
