Some of the numbers around the sports world, when broken down by accomplishment, are simply eye-popping in this era. (And keep in mind, these examples are based on current earnings, not taking into account restructurings or any other potential changes.)

A look:

MLB: Blake Snell, Dodgers

The two-time Cy Young winner will earn about $65 million in 2025, most of which is a signing bonus that comes his way in January. He's also never made more than 32 starts in a season. If he makes 32 starts in 2025, he'd be getting (when factoring in the signing bonus) $2,031,250 per game. For comparison's sake, Detroit's Tarik Skubal made $2.65 million for the entire 2024 season — and won a Cy Young award.

MLB: Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers

His record $700 million deal is no longer a record because of the Soto deal, but Ohtani still holds the mark for average total value at $70 million a year. The only member of baseball's 50-50 club (54 homers, 59 stolen bases in 2024) would — at this past season's rate — be making $619,469 every time he hits one out or steals a base.

NFL: Dak Prescott, Cowboys

It's unfair to break down his stats this year because he's hurt, but Prescott's current deal is worth an average of $60 million a season from Dallas. Based on his career average, that means over the lifetime of his current contract, Prescott gets $13,680 for every passing yard.

NFL: QBs in general

The per-game numbers in the NFL for starting quarterbacks are wild. Patrick Mahomes' current $450 million contract isn't even at the top of the cash-per-game standings: Prescott gets about $3.5 million for every Dallas regular season game, while Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence, Cincinnati's Joe Burrow and Green Bay's Jordan Love are around $3.25 million per game.

NBA: Stephen Curry, Warriors

At nearly $56 million this season, Curry leads the NBA salary race (for this year, anyway). The NBA's all-time 3-point king is earning about $680,000 per game in 2024-25; if he was paid by the 3-pointer only, he'd be getting about $161,908 every time he makes one of those this season.

NBA: Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, Celtics

Brown is starting a five-year deal worth around $285 million, Tatum will start a five-year deal next year worth around $314 million. At those rates, the Celtics would be paying their two best players (at their current scoring paces) around $27,406 for every point scored. To compare — Larry Bird, for his career, made about $1,100 per point.
