A million bucks doesn’t go that far these days.
But if you were running a NFL team back in 1990, you could’ve picked Troy Aikman’s services for a season. A little bit more and you could afford Randall Cunningham’s $1.275 million price tag. If you want to load up on value, you could acquire both Mark Rypien ($300,000) and Jim Harbaugh ($320,00) and still have enough for Billy Joe Tolliver ($250,000).
These days, a million bucks will barely fund half of a backup on most teams. That’s to be expected with the explosion of NFL revenue, but it’s still fun to see what 1990’s quarterbacks made compared to today’s salaries.
Here’s a team by team look at 1990 and 2020 quarterback salaries.

The Cardinals check-in at 558-763-41. They have had two incarnations in the desert. The Phoenix Cardinals were 32-64 over six seasons. They audibled to the Arizona Cardinals and are 175-239-2 under that moniker. Hard to believe for a franchise that has been around since 1920 but it has been to the playoffs in 10 seasons with a 7-9 mark. Overall, two championships, both when the team was based in Chicago.
