Details about the Former Bengals Punter NFL Practice Squad Pay and UFL Pay: An Unexpected Comparison
This week, former NFL punter Drue Chrisman used social media to dissect what an NFL practice squad player’s typical pay stub looks like. In the process, he caught several of his fans off guard!
The Bengals’ 2022 special team player revealed that he earned an unexpected sum of money even though he wasn’t on the playing roster.
Because of COVID regulations, Chrisman worked a mere seven hours during this pay period, despite earning somewhat more than $1,300 per hour.
Before taxes and insurance reduced the adjusted compensation to little less than $6,000, his weekly total amounted to $9,200. Not too bad!
That would come to almost $24,000 a month, although keep in mind that players aren’t often paid year-round.
Additionally, Drue Chrisman dissected UFL pay.
“I created this video in response to the frequent questions I received regarding the main distinctions between the NFL and the UFL. Of course it’s the pay,” he remarked. You’re not making millions of dollars like the men in the NFL, but it’s not horrible money either.
That UFL total added out to around $18,000 every month, or about $4,500 per week.
Even while it’s not as much as the NFL practice squad salary, it’s still a respectable little income.
Chrisman participated in the UFL this past season with the Birmingham Stallions, where he was a league champion. Come autumn, he hopes to receive another chance at the NFL.
