tomur67 Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Just wondering. Would a guy like Duke Williams make more on the practice squad or more playing in the Canadian Football League?

Would a guy like Duke Williams make more on the practice squad or more playing in the Canadian Football League? Good question. Saw this: https://3downnation.com/2018/03/07/what-top-cfl-free-agents-got-paid/ There are a lot of basketball players who could make good money overseas but would rather play in the NBA G league because they are closer to their dream. Could be the case here.
LABILLBACKER Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Yes its a $8000 minimum per week, but it can go higher depending on the player. They can be cut at anytime after 3 weeks and the PS money does count against the cap. 1

I was wondering the same thing - more because I'm a softy and I want Peko to be able to take care of his family! 1
skibum Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 $8K a week is not bad at all! Much more than I would have expected- Especially considering the PS guys don’t get their bodies thrashed every week like the roster players do.

Teams can and do offer their PS players more. They can also up their comp if another team tries to sign them to the 53. PS players can and do say "Nah, I'm good!" in those circs. 2

They actually get it worse in some cases Some are used as tackling dummies

That is only for 17 weeks in the season ( 1/2 year salary). They have to use that money to pay for their expenses for the whole year. I am not sure what they get for being in TC.

Also, does Wade's salary count against the Bill's cap? Edited September 2, 2019 by from_dunkirk

DBilz2500 Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 I was on an NFL practice squad for 2 years: 1st year made $8,500 per week for 16 weeks and $10000 for 1 week when we were in the playoffs. In my 2nd year I had accrued enough practice squad weeks that my salary went up to $12,500/week for 16 weeks. 2 2 4

If this is the case, then teams can use that to their advantage by offering significantly more if they really want to keep that player but don't want them on the current roster. For me, that leads to the question: Do the salaries on the practice squad count against the team's salary cap?

Practice squad salaries do count against a team’s cap space, however." Presumably though, Christian Wade's salary does not count, since he has an exemption. Edited September 2, 2019 by from_dunkirk

Was thinking that had to be the case or teams could take advantage of it. Will now be interesting to see what the specific players are payed this year. 1
