Tennessee Titans player earnings

$1,183,079,320 earned by the 59 players on the roster, led by DeAndre Hopkins on $142,012,890.

Tennessee Titans are 24th of 32 on what the roster is worth and 28th on what the club has paid out. The first number counts everything the men on the books have been paid anywhere in their careers and the second counts only the seasons the club's own name is against, which is why they disagree. The Tennessee Titans cap sheet is here.
