10 highest-paid cornerbacks in NFL after Bears extend Jaylon Johnson on $76,000,000, 4-year deal

9) Carlton Davis III ($15 million)

Miami Dolphins v Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Carlton Davis III has never been an All-Pro or Pro Bowler, but he did play a major role in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Super Bowl 55 victory. He hurt his quad in the final year of his rookie contract, but that did not deter general manager Jason Licht from extending him for three years and $45 million in 2022 free agency.

Since then, he has continued to be a defensive presence, most recently helping the Buccaneers reach the Divisional Round in their first season since Tom Brady's retirement.
