Jimmy Garoppolo is now the highest-paid player in the NFL.

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback has put pen to paper on a new five-year deal which will see him pull in a league-leading $27.5 million (£19.8m) a year.

Just how does that figure stack up to the rest of the league's highest-earners? Also, what does Garoppolo's deal mean for other big names entering into the final year of their contract and looking for another big payday - Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins etc?
