The highest-paid player in the United Football League (UFL) is Brett Hundley, a quarterback for the Vegas Vipers, who earned about $200,000 in the 2023 XFL season before the merger that formed the UFL. This salary was significantly higher than the rest of the league due to his experience and marketability

. However, the UFL's current salary structure pays players equally regardless of position, with active roster players earning about $5,500 per week over a 10-week season, totaling roughly $55,000 per year, plus housing stipends and bonuses

. While quarterbacks like Jordan Taamu, AJ McCarron, Luis Perez, and EJ Perry also earned more than the league average in previous leagues (XFL/USFL), the UFL itself has adopted a more fiscally responsible and equitable pay model where no player currently earns as much as Hundley did in the XFL

. In summary, Brett Hundley holds the record for highest pay among UFL-related players historically, but under the current UFL salary system, no player officially exceeds the standard weekly pay of $5,500, making the highest-paid players earn around $55,000 to $62,000 per season with bonuses and stipends
