[lovelystyle]

Wide receiver wasn't a winner when the beat the last February to become champions. He did get a $215,000 consolation prize because of the way money gets allocated during the postseason. Jackson was eligible for the money since he was Dennis Eckersley Jersey with the Rams for eight games before being released.Players are paid much differently in the playoffs than during the regular season. A majority of players take a sizable pay cut in the playoffs because their salaries have no bearing on what they make during the postseason. Playoff money comes from a league pool instead of from . There is a specific amount for each playoff round where each eligible player gets paid the same.Players will receive the following amounts for the 2022 season's playoffs:Wild card division winners:$46,500Other wild cards:$41,500Wild card byes:$41,500Divisional round:$46,500Conference championships:$69,000Super Bowl winner:$157,000Super Bowl loser:$82,000Players earn their base salary over the course of the 18-week regular season. For example, injured quarterback earned a little more than $1.275 million per week from his team-high $23.016 million base salary during the regular season. He made $41,500 for Baltimore's wild card playoff game lo s to the Bengals as did -- who started in his place -- and the rest of their teammates. Huntley earned $49,722 each regular-season week. Postseason money for wild card and divisional playoff games isn't much more than the weekly earnings of a player making the $705,000, first-year minimum Marcus Semien Jersey salary ($39,167 per week).The maximum a player can make in this season's playoffs from his current team is $319,000. The Super Bowl winner would have to be a division winner that participated in the wild card round (Bengals, , , and ). The most that can be made from being a member on other playoff participants is $314,000. For a player like 49ers quarterback , who was the last player selected in the 2022 NFL Draft, winning the Super Bowl would be more meaningful financially than to most of his teammates. Purdy is making $782,812 between his signing bonus and 2022 season base salary. An additional $319,000 would be a little more than 40% of Purdy's career earnings from his NFL player contract.Players on the 53-man roster and injured reserve at game time receive payment for wild card and divisional playoff games. Practice squad players continue to get paid at their weekly rate for as long as their respective teams are in the playoffs.That's $11,500 per week for most practice squad players. Longtime veterans make between $15,400 and $19,900 a week. Teams are allowed to expand the 53-man roster to 54 or 55 players by elevating up to two practice squad players for each regular or postseason game. The elevated players get paid like the others on the 53-man roster and injured reserve for the first two playoff rounds. Cornerback , who has started 138 of the 144 regular-season games he has played, is collecting $46,500 for the 49ers beating the to advance to the divisional playoffs instead of $15,400 because he was elevated for the game.Payment eligibility is more complicated for the conference championships and Super Bowl.

He is on injured reserve while recovering from cardiac arrest after making a tackle in a Jan. 2 game against the Bengals. Offensive guard and running back have a chance to receive payment from two different teams in the playoffs thanks to the final category. The 49ers dealt Wilson to the , who lost to the Bills in a wild card game, at the Nov. 1 trade deadline. The Jaguars claimed Hance through waivers after he was released by the 49ers eight games into the season.Defensive tackle and edge rusher are in a unique position because of the last category. Both players are currently on San Francisco's practice squad. Spence and Turay spent eight and 12 games, respectively, on the 49ers' 53-man roster.Each would make $19,900 more than San Francisco players on the 53-man roster for the final two playoff rounds because they would also get practice squad pay as long as they weren't elevated for either of those games. The same is true for with the Bengals. He had been the Bengals punter since 2009 when he was released 13 weeks into the season and was subsequently signed to Cincinnati's practice squad. For example, Turay would get $88,900 for the NFC Championship Game provided he wasn't Mark McGwire Jersey promoted to the 53-man roster while 49ers First Team , and would each make $69,000. Players on the 53-man roster when the game is played who have been on the roster for le s than three previous games (regular season or playoffs).First-year players put on injured reserve during the regular season who are still under contract when the game is played and signed a player contract or practice squad contract in a prior season.Non-vested veterans (one Terry Steinbach Jersey to three years of service) put on injured reserve during the preseason who are still under contract when the game is played.Players who aren't on the 53-man roster at game time who spent between three and seven games on the roster (regular season or playoffs) provided they're not under contract to another team in the same conference.The most notable players eligible under these categories include cornerbacks and . The signed Rhodes to the practice squad during the final week of the regular season after the Bills released him. He had been on Buffalo's 53-man roster for seven games this season.Felton was with the for seven games and eight weeks before a trade to the . He stands to collect $113,000 if Kansas City wins the Super Bowl. Week 8 being a bye for the Chiefs will prevent Felton from receiving $226,000 instead with a Chiefs Super Bowl victory. He's one game short of qualifying for the full amount in the final two playoff rounds.Running back isn't getting any playoff money for his seven games with the Bills regardle s of how far they advance.
