The highest-paid players in the Super Bowl

The best NFL teams spend wisely and manage their salary cap. We can see evidence of that in this year's Super Bowl.

Combined, the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons have just four players ranked among the 50 highest-paid players in the NFL. If we go a step further, the Falcons don't have any players ranked in the top 30 and the Patriots' only player among the top 50 is Tom Brady, who is ranked fifth overall.

Here are the ten highest-paid players in Super Bowl LI based on total earnings this season, according to data obtained from Spotrac.
