<P> The following is a list of the largest sports contracts . These figures include signing bonuses but exclude options, buyouts, and endorsement deals . This list does not reflect the highest annual salaries or career earnings, only the largest contracts and thus is limited to athletes in team sports and auto racing . Athletes in individual sports, such as golf, tennis, and boxing are not employed by a team and usually earn money primarily through event winnings . This list also does not necessarily reflect actual money collected by the athletes, since some contracts are eventually terminated (usually due to an athlete either retiring or invoking their opt - out clause). </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Rank </Th> <Th> Player </Th> <Th> Team </Th> <Th> Sport </Th> <Th> Length of contract </Th> <Th> Contract value (USD) </Th> <Th> Average per year (USD) </Th> <Th> Average per game (USD) </Th> <Th> Ref </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 01 </Td> <Td> Giancarlo Stanton </Td> <Td> New York Yankees, Miami Marlins </Td> <Td> Baseball </Td> <Td> 13 years (2014 - 2027) </Td> <Td> $325,000,000 </Td> <Td> $25,000,000 </Td> <Td> $154,320.99 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 02 </Td> <Td> Rodriguez, Alex Alex Rodriguez </Td> <Td> New York Yankees * </Td> <Td> Baseball </Td> <Td> 10 years (2008--2017) </Td> <Td> $275,000,000 </Td> <Td> $27,500,000 </Td> <Td> $169,753.09 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 03 </Td> <Td> Neymar </Td> <Td> Paris Saint Germain </Td> <Td> Association football </Td> <Td> 5 years (2017 - 2022) </Td> <Td> $270,000,000 </Td> <Td> $54,000,000 </Td> <Td> $1,080,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 04 </Td> <Td> Rodriguez, Alex Alex Rodriguez </Td> <Td> Texas Rangers * </Td> <Td> Baseball </Td> <Td> 10 years (2001--2010) </Td> <Td> $252,000,000 </Td> <Td> $25,200,000 </Td> <Td> $155,555.56 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 05 </Td> <Td> Cabrera, Miguel Miguel Cabrera </Td> <Td> Detroit Tigers </Td> <Td> Baseball </Td> <Td> 08!
