The NFL's highest-paid guards in 2023: See the position's 2023 salary rankings
View Date:2024-12-23 23:16:14
Coming off his first Pro Bowl season, Chris Lindstrom signed a five-year contract extension with the Atlanta Falcons that made him the highest-paid guard in the league.
Lindstrom, who has been called for only one holding penalty in his four-year NFL career, helps anchor an offensive line that opened up holes for the league's third-ranking rushing attack during the 2022 season (averaging 159.9 yards per game). With first-round pick Bijan Robinson joining the Falcons' backfield, expect the team to continue to rely on players such as Lindstrom to keep the running game among the league's best.
