Spread out amongst several hundred players Several NFL players make more than that for being on the roster in March Considering even with the win bonus added in - most players besides the QBs will make around $55,000 for their 10 games - they are not exactly making much money. They will make a bit under $480,000 less than the NFL minimum and well below even the PS players before the new CBA. Even with the bigger QB salaries they are way below NFL PS levels. The players are totally being screwed for money as the pay in the XFL is even less than the AAFL was. The question becomes how many get invites and how many do not. I really do not see this as viable beyond next season and if the virus scare continues on the coasts - attendance will plummet even further for teams like Seattle, NY, and LA. I know Vince pulled enough money to fund 2+ seasons, but I am not sure at what point he pulls the plug or has the plug pulled for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBCSports.com: XFL admits blunder at end of Seattle-Houston game.https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/03/07/xfl-admits-blunder-at-end-of-seattle-houston-game/ 15 hours ago, Rochesterfan said: He has the last 2 years and could not make the Bills WRs either year (and I am told that the Bills had pathetic WRs the last 2 years). After not making the Bills or a PS last year - how good is he really? My guess is he gets an invite, but he just is not good enough against NFL starting or back-up CBs. He will be potential NFL PS with the new expanded Rosters. I seen to recall Philips being injured with the Bills. 14 hours ago, LeGOATski said: bruised ego; out indefinitely Especially since Perez is making them better. 13 hours ago, /dev/null said: $100k bonus per win x4 games per week x10 weeks per season =$4M bonus per season Several NFL players make more than that for being on the roster in March I think that's split with the entire roster.

LeGOATski Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Pep Hamilton comes off as kind of a prick when he's mic'd up. He seems to think his game plan/play calls are perfect and it's always the players' fault. Anyone else picking up on that? 1 minute ago, PromoTheRobot said: I'm really surprised at how badly St.L is playing today. They're not all in it mentally.

So DC/StL barely crack 21 total points, but two offensively-challenged teams like LA/TB are gonna go over 43.5 pts in the first half. I'll say this.
