Atlanta Falcons — Jake Matthews
Base Salary: $12,558,823
Jake Matthews is a quality starting left tackle, and has been one of the few bright spots for a Falcons offensive line which has struggled mightily over the last several years. A one-time Pro Bowler, Matthews agreed to an extension in ’22 worth $55 million over three years. Entering next season, no offensive lineman in the entire league has a larger cap hit than Atlanta’s Matthews. That means he’s consuming more of his team’s salary cap than perennial All-Pro’s like Trent Williams and Lane Johnson, among others. Matthews is good, but nowhere near the level of those other players.
