Falcons Coach Stefanski's Salary Skyrockets Fourfold
1 Feb
Summary
- Stefanski's 2026 salary will reach $14 million, ranking eighth.
- His pay quadruples from his previous Cleveland Browns contract.
- Stefanski will earn more than top coaches like Kyle Shanahan.
Kevin Stefanski has been appointed as the Atlanta Falcons' head coach, commanding a substantial salary that places him among the league's highest earners. By the 2026 season, Stefanski is projected to earn $14 million annually, ranking him eighth in the NFL. This new contract represents a significant financial leap, quadrupling his previous annual salary of $3.5 million with the Cleveland Browns. His compensation will exceed that of prominent figures such as Kyle Shanahan, a two-time NFC championship coach. Stefanski's previous tenure with the Browns saw him awarded Coach of the Year twice in 2020 and 2023, despite an overall record of 45-56. The Falcons, who paid Raheem Morris $4 million annually last season, are investing heavily in Stefanski to bolster their offense, particularly with young quarterback Michael Penix Jr. His immediate priority will be to enhance the performance of the Falcons' offense and capitalize on their young playmakers, aiming to improve upon the previous season's offensive struggles.
