so about how much money is he making being on the practice squad? just curious.

of course they could pay me in peanuts and I would do it rather than having just about any other job, professional hunter not included of course.

Practice squad players practice alongside regular roster players during the week, but they are not allowed to play in actual games. They can be paid considerably less than active squad players: The minimum salary from 2008 to 2010 is $5,200 per week (2008-2010)<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span> for 17 weeks, or $88,400 per season, in comparison to the NFL minimum rookie salary of $285,000. (Some practice squad players are paid considerably more, however: In 2006, the New England Patriots paid third-year player Billy Yates the full $425,000 he would have earned on the active roster.)<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span>
