Biggest contracts signed during the 2022 NFL offseason
#5 - Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins - $120 million
Tyreek Hill was traded by the Kansas City Chiefs to the Miami Dolphins in one of the most shocking moves of the entire 2022 offseason. The superstar wide receiver has spent his entire career so far with the Chiefs, but will now join the Dolphins for the upcoming 2022 season.
“His play-calling is amazing. I watched San Fran, how they used Deebo Samuel. I’m hoping for the same thing in Miami.”

Immediately following the trade, Tyreek Hill signed a massive contract extension with the Dolphins worth $120 million over the next four years, with more than $72 million in guaranteed money. He is the first non-quarterback in NFL history to sign a contract worth at least $30 million in AAV.
#4 - Davante Adams, Las Vegas Raiders - $140 million
The Green Bay Packers placed the franchise tag on Davante Adams after being unable to come to an agreement on a long-term contract extension. Adams informed the organization that he would refuse to play the 2022 season while on the tag, so the Packers decided to trade him to the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Raiders immediately gave Davante Adams a $140 million contract extension for the next five years. The $28 million in AAV was the highest for any wide receiver in NFL history until Tyreek Hill surpassed it just a few weeks later.
