Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 1049526, member: 34"] Consider this your Boneyard annual Practice Squad Refresher Trainer. High reward, high risk work, but the pay is good even if the job security isn't as good. Still beats the heck out of college grads working at Starbucks.

Of course, a team can and will pay more if a player is in high demand and has other offers elsewhere. However, none of their contract is guaranteed. In short, a team can decide to cut a practice squad player without any penalty. If a player is signed to another team and put on the active roster, they will receive a minimum of three checks regardless of whether they are kept for that entire time. Should a player stay on the practice squad for the entire season, he stands to earn $107,100. In comparison, a player who is on the active roster and making the minimum will take in $420,000. Under the current collective bargaining agreement, the salary for a practice-squad player will go up each year through 2020. Increases of $300 per week will be made until the year 2018, when $400 will be added to the previous year's salary. By 2020, the number is set at $8,400 per week.[/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
