Players typically accept their whole income over a march of a 17-week unchanging season. For example, Ndamukong Suh done $738,235 per week during a unchanging deteriorate from his $12.55 million bottom salary. He will accept $24,000 for a Detroit Lions’ Wild Card playoff game, usually like third fibre quarterback Kellen Moore and a rest of his teammates. Wild Card playoff income is reduction than a weekly compensate of a actor creation a $420,000 first-year actor smallest income ($24,706 per week).

Players on teams with Wild Card turn byes (Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks) are radically operative for giveaway for a week given they will not accept payment. The additional rest and home margin advantage in a Divisional playoff turn are ostensible to make adult for a miss of money.

$189,000 is a limit a actor can acquire in a 2014 season’s playoffs, though a Super Bowl leader would have to be a multiplication leader that participated in a Wild Card turn (Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, or Pittsburgh Steelers). The many a actor can acquire if he is from a group with a initial turn bye is $165,000. Payments during a playoffs contingency be done within 15 days after a diversion has been played.

For a actor like Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall, winning a Super Bowl would be some-more suggestive financially than to many of his teammates given he is usually creation his $495,000 joining smallest income this season. The additional $165,000 would be one-third of his 2014 salary.

Players on a 53-man register and harmed haven during diversion time accept remuneration for Wild Card and Divisional playoff games. Practice patrol players don’t accept playoff money, though continue to get paid (minimum of $6,300 per week) during a weeks their particular teams are in a playoffs.

Payment eligibility is some-more difficult for a discussion championships and Super Bowl. The remuneration mandate for these dual playoff rounds are summarized below.

Full Amount

2. Veterans (at slightest one year of service) put on harmed haven during a unchanging deteriorate that are still underneath agreement when a diversion is played.

3. Vested veterans (four or some-more years of service) put on harmed haven during a preseason that are still underneath agreement when a diversion is played.

4. Players who aren’t on a 53-man register during diversion time that spent during slightest 8 games on a register (regular deteriorate or playoffs) supposing they’re not underneath agreement to another group in a same conference.

The final difficulty gives Antoine Cason a possibility of removing paid for being on dual opposite teams during a deteriorate that done a playoffs. Cason played 12 games for a Carolina Panthers before he was released. Cason has been with a Baltimore Ravens given Week 15.

Half Amount

1. Players on a 53-man register when a diversion is played that have been on a register for reduction than 3 before games (regular deteriorate or playoffs).

2. First-year players put on harmed haven during a unchanging deteriorate that are still underneath agreement when a diversion is played and sealed a actor agreement or use patrol agreement in a before season.

Percy Harvin could be rooting for a Seahawks notwithstanding removing traded to a New York Jets in a center of a deteriorate given of a final category. He will make $70,500 if a Seahawks repeat as Super Bowl champions given he was on their register for 5 games.

There is one some-more difficulty that receives a one-quarter share for Conference championships and a Super Bowl. First-year players put on harmed haven during a preseason that are still underneath agreement when a diversion is played. They also contingency have been on a team’s use patrol for during slightest 8 games in a before deteriorate or perceived one or dual diversion checks while on a team’s 53-man register or harmed haven in a before year in sequence to validate for payment.
