The recent LM-2 filed by the NFL Players Association reveals that Sanders, through his SS2 Legendary LLC, received more than $17.7 million from the NFLPA from May 2025 through February 2026.
The number was first reported by Daniel Kaplan in an item for Front Office Sports. Per Kaplan, that figure shatters the prior one-year record of $9.5 million, held by Tom Brady.
PFT has confirmed the number, which appears in the union’s voluminous annual federal filing.
The document reflects thirteen different payments for “royalties/player marketing” to SS2 Legendary, totaling $17,712,015. The biggest payment was made on May 16, 2025, in the amount of $9,241,318. The second-largest payment — $2,086,563 — was made on January 23, 2026.
