<p><strong>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Football League</a> is ruthless</strong>. And when we say that, we’re not just talking about how physical the game is, but about how lopsided the salary scales can be. Whereas superstars and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-quarterback-salaries-2021-who-are-the-highest-paid-qbs-in-the-league-20210826-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>quarterbacks make plenty of money,</strong></a> others <strong>don’t even have<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/what-will-be-the-nfl-salary-cap-for-the-2021-season-20210310-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> guaranteed salaries.</a></strong></p>
<p>Hundreds of thousands of people try to make it to the NFL year in and year out. Sadly, <strong>just 53 men make the final roster</strong>, leaving most of those aspirants wandering around as free agents. Some of them, however, get another shot by playing as practice squad players.</p>
<p>But, how much money do those practice squad players make? Are their deals guaranteed? Can they play on a team and<strong> even win a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-all-time-super-bowl-winners-per-year-20210127-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Super Bowl?</a></strong> We’re going to answer all of those questions shortly.</p>

<h2>What’s A Practice Squad Player?</h2>
<p>As you can tell by the name, a practice squad player is only there for practice purposes. Teams claim those players who didn’t make the 53-man roster off waivers and they can sign <strong>up to 16 of them</strong> to the practice squad.</p>
<p>Practice squad players are paid weekly and <strong>can be released at any point in the season</strong>. On the flip side, they’re also free to sign with any NFL team they please, except from 4 “protected” practice squad players.</p>
<p>The players aren’t eligible to play in actual NFL games unless they’re promoted. Also, they can’t sign with the team’s next rival unless he does it more than 6 days before the game, or 10 days if the game<strong> is after a BYE week.</strong></p>
