How Much Do they Make?
I was thinking about Josh Allen being fined $15,000 for starting the fracas in the fourth quarter of the AFC Championship game. I couldn't find any figures on pay for 2020 playoffs, but did find some info from last year. Also I know if you play in Kansas City you have to give up 1% of what you make at Arrowhead to KC municipal taxes. So all those Bills players would lose 1% to City of KC. Plus you know state taxes in New York are brutal. This is from a CBS station WFMY in North Carolina:
https://www.wfmynews2.com/article/ne...b-6caa21fe03e3 Players are paid much differently in the playoffs than during the regular season. A majority of players take a hefty 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 NFL teams. There is a specific amount for each playoff round where each eligible player gets paid the same. Pay Scale Players will receive the following amounts for the 2019 season's playoffs. Wild Card Round Division Winners: $31,000 Other Wild Cards: $28,000 Divisional Playoff Game: $31,000 Conference Championship Game: $56,000 Super Bowl Winning Team: $124,000 Losing Team: $62,000 Players typically receive their entire salary over the course of the 17 week regular season. For example, Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins made slightly more than $1.6 million per week from his league-high $27.5 million base salary during the regular season. He will receive $28,000 for Minnesota's Wild Card playoff game, just like his backup quarterback Sean Mannion, whose weekly pay was just under $47,500, and the rest of his teammates. Mannion won't see any action in the playoffs barring unforeseen circumstances. Postseason money for Wild Card and Divisional Playoff games is pretty much on par with the weekly pay of a player making the $495,000 first-year player minimum salary ($29,118 per week). Players on teams with Wild Card round byes (Chiefs, 49ers, Packers, and Ravens) are essentially working for free for the week since they will not receive payment. The additional rest and home-field advantage in the Divisional Playoff round are supposed to make up for the lack of money. $242,000 is the maximum a player can make in this season's playoffs but the Super Bowl winner would have to be a division winner that participated in the Wild Card round (Eagles, Patriots, Saints, and Texans). The most a player can earn if he is from a team with a first-round bye is $211,000. For a player like 49ers tight end Daniel Helm, who was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster in December, winning the Super Bowl would be more meaningful financially than to most of his teammates. Helm is making $199,353 this season. That's his combined practice squad and 53-man roster salaries. The additional $211,000 would be more than his entire 2019 season pay. Payment Eligibility Players on the 53-man roster and injured reserve at game time receive payment for Wild Card and Divisional Playoff games. Practice squad players don't receive playoff money but continue to get a paid salary (minimum of $8,000 per week) during the weeks their respective teams are in the playoffs. Occasionally, a practice squad player will be paid as if he was on the 53-man roster at his league minimum salary. This is to discourage leaving for another team's 53-man roster when the opportunity arises. An increased payment can lead to the rare occurrence where a practice squad player makes as much or more than roster members during the first two playoff rounds. Bills linebacker Del'Shawn Phillips' practice squad pay being based on his $495,000 league minimum salary means he will get $29,118 for Buffalo's Wild Card game against the Texans. His teammates playing in the contest will get a little less than he does at $28,000. A similar thing will occur if Buffalo advances to the Divisional Playoffs. Phillips' pay will remain the same while the members of the 53-man roster will receive $31,000. Full Amount 1. Players on the 53-man roster when the game is played that have been on the roster for at least three previous games (regular season or playoffs). 2. Veterans (at least one year of service) put on injured reserve during the regular season that are still under contract when the game is played. 3. Vested veterans (four or more years of service) put on injured reserve during the pre-season that are still under contract when the game is played. 4. Players who aren't on the 53-man roster at game time that spent at least eight games on the roster (regular season or playoffs) provided they're not under contract to another team in the same conference. Dolphins wide receiver Mack Hollins and linebacker Sharif Finch are the only players who could make the full amount under the last category. Finch was with the Titans for most of the season until his release. If the Bengals hadn't released Finch for failing his physical after being claimed off of waivers, he wouldn't be eligible because both teams are in the AFC. Hollins played 12 games with the Eagles this season before he being let go. A Super Bowl victory by their former team means $180,000 for Hollins and Finch. The Eagles and Titans aren't among the favorites to win the Super Bowl LIV. |

Every pro athlete in major sports pays state taxes to every state they play in based upon how often.
Major league baseball and NBA have the worst tax complications. It's crazy.

Yankees players have the highest tax rates due to all the high tax states they play in.

Man, if I was only bigger, faster, stronger, more agile, younger, and knew how to play football past mighty mights I could have been a practice squad player. That's not a bad weekly check.

In hockey the Canadian players make the least amount, they can pay up to 53% in income tax. In the USA the state's without state income is like a consideration for some players when negotiating. Florida, Tennessee and Texas have no state income tax and now the Raiders fall into that category because Nevada has none. That was like a raise getting out of California.

Dunno about Carr, but Josh Jacobs deferred his signing bonus until they got to Vegas for this reason.
