Take it FWIW....I'm viewing it as rumor only for now, especially considering the source.
================================
On his new deal, O’Connell went from earning $5 million annually to $12 million per year.
According to Charley Walters of Pioneer Press, he is rumored to be on a five-year, $60 million contract. If true, that means O’Connell would be the eighth-highest-paid coach in the NFL (tied with Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh).
O’Connell would be making more than Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell, Buffalo Bills HC Sean McDermott, and the Green Bay Packers’ Matt LaFleur.
The seven head coaches earning more than O’Connell are reportedly the Kansas City Chiefs’ Andy Reid ($20 million), Denver Broncos’ Sean Payton ($18 million), Pittsburgh Steelers’ Mike Tomlin ($16 million), Los Angeles Chargers’ Jim Harbaugh ($16 million), Los Angeles Rams’ Sean McVay ($15 million), San Francisco 49ers’ Kyle Shanahan ($14 million), and the Chicago Bears’ Ben Johnson ($13 million).
