Veteran quarterback Chase Daniel is on a three-year, $13.05 million contract with the Detroit Lions that is worth more than the deals of Cam Newton and Jameis Winston combined. If he plays through the contract, his career earnings in the NFL will reach $47.36 million.
Newton and Winston both signed with a new team after waiting in free agency for a team to call. Newton agreed to terms with the New England Patriots earlier this week. Both deals can be considered bargains as Winston will make a little more $1 million this season, while Cam will sign a one-year deal in New England worth around $7.5 million.

In his 11 NFL seasons, including stints with the Saints, Chiefs, Eagles, and Bears, Daniel has made just five starts and thrown seven career touchdowns. As of right now, Daniel is at $34,309,164 million in career earnings.
That means that Daniel has earned $6,800,000 per game started. $4,900,000 per TD. And $230,00 per pass completion. Can you imagine getting paid $150k to try and complete a pass? Because he has earned $150,000 per pass attempt.
