How much money does a Super Bowl player earn?

Answer 1

Besides winning the famous Vince Lombardi Trophy, the winning team of the Super Bowl gets a serious cash bonus. Under the NFL's current agreement with the players, each player will get $92,000 for winning the Super Bowl. This agreement is for the 2014 Super Bowl. The losing team, received $46,000.

Keep in mind that this is the minimum bonus guaranteed by the NFL Players Association. Other star players and MVPs might have millions more written into their contracts.

I am pretty sure there is no prize pool. They are paid their usual salary throughout the years. Only other way for the players to earn extra big bucks is by endorsements for vendors and commercials and such

Answer 4

It varies by year, but as a rule of thumb, they get roughly half the bonus that the players on the winning team get. In 2014, the winners' bonus was $92,000, while that for players on the losing team was $46,000.

That's just for that game. To get to that point, they will have advanced in the playoffs (and gotten a bonus for doing that) and won their division (and gotten a bonus for THAT). In 2014, it's estimated that that added up to around $90,000 or so per player in addition to the bonus for the Super Bowl itself.

Answer 5

For winning Super Bowl XLI in 2007, the Indianapolis Colts won $73,000 per player. The Chicago Bears won $38,000 per player.

Answer 6

They get a bonus, it's just not as much money as the members of the winning team.

Answer 7

Depends how good they are.

Answer 8

$55,000
