NFL's 10 Highest-Paid Players as of September 1 2019

Surprisingly, despite the huge amount of money
paid to QB Jared Goff (Los Angeles Rams), the
cash outlay (total earnings) in 2019 is only
$26 million per the following article, but I
don't know how much he is paid in endorsements:

It's likely that his endorsements places him
somewhere in the following top 10.

Hard to know where Dak Prescott will end up once
he and Jerry come to an agreement, but when you
add in his endorsements ("Taken together, Pres-
cott’s endorsement deals and insurance policies
are worth more than $50 million" per the follow-
ing article), he'll likely end up as the highest-
paid NFL player in 2019:

Ezekiel Elliott's big deal, the 2019 cash outlay
is only $8,252,137 and I don't know the value of
Ezekiel's endorsement deals.
