If you pull aside 100 football fans outside of Ohio, at least 90 of them will probably never have heard of Christian Kirksey. Yet, Kirksey is the fourth highest-paid inside linebacker in the NFL, making $9.5 million per year on average. Meanwhile, inside linebacker Derrick Johnson of the Kansas City Chiefs — who’s made the Pro Bowl four of the past five years — makes nearly half as much, at $5.12 million per year.
