» Dollars and cents: NFL players will see increases in league revenue, resulting in higher salaries over the course of the next several years:
— Starting in 2021, players will now receive 48 percent of league revenue, up from 47 percent. That can increase to 48.5 percent due to a media kicker in any season the NFL plays 17 regular season games.
— Minimum salaries for rookies will increase $100,000 in 2020 to $710,000; that will increase to $760,000 in 2021, with $45,000 increases each year after that.
— Minimum salaries for non-rookies increases at least $90,000 in 2020, $80,000 to $105,000 in 2021 and $45,000 each year after that.
— Practice squad players receive raises of $10,500 per week.
— Players on teams that earn a bye week on Wild Card weekend will now receive postseason pay.
— Starting in 2021, postseason pay amounts for players increase to $42,500 (Wild Card Division winners), $37,500 (other Wild Card teams), $42,500 (Divisional Round), $65,000 (Conference Championship teams), $150,000 (Super Bowl winners) and $75,000 (Super Bowl losers), with increases thereafter on a yearly basis.
