Listing the NFL’s most expensive Vols in 2020

Money is always a point of interest when living in capitalistic society. Especially when you make a lot of it.

When you get to the NFL, you tend to make a lot of money, even if you’re not around for too long. Players that make the active 53-man roster are automatically guaranteed at least six figures for that season, which is more than most people make in a combined 2-3 years of work.

Comparing prices tags on players can be a lot of fun and it’s always interesting to see how much former players from your favorite college team are making on a yearly basis. After seeing a similar post like this by Ronald Evans of Fansided’s bamahammer.com, I decided to track down all the Tennessee Vols that are currently on a NFL contract and ranked them accordingly from highest salary to lowest salary in terms of cash earned in 2020 (total cap hit is in parenthesis).
