NFL wide receivers were seventh of 11 general player positions in 2007 in terms of salary, with an average of $1,054,437, according to Sports Illustrated's NFL's Average Salary By Position.. Quarterbacks were highest on the list with average pay of $1,970,982.
Last year, the average salary in the league was just over $2 million. The average salary for the top 100 players in the NFL is $11.6 million, 29 percent less than that of the top MLB players and 13 percent less than NBA's best.
