NFL has announced slight increase in Super Bowl 2021 player bonuses. Each and every squad members of Kansas City Cheifs and Tampa Bay Buccanners will be getting bonus checks from NFL after the Super Bowl 2021. The winning team players get $150,000 each while losing team squad members get $75,000 each.
For most NFL players being part of the Super Bowl and winning the “Vince Lombardi trophy” is enough as they already have lucrative pro contracts with their teams. But for the youngsters and fringe players to be part of Super Bowl 2021 rosters means a handsome paycheck regardless of their participation in the big game.
Players Bonuses For Winning The Super Bowl 2021: NFL announced that every player in both rosters will receive bonus checks after the Super Bowl 2021. Every Player of the winning team roster will take home as much as $150,000 while losing team players will get $75,000 each.
- Winning Team Player Bonuses: Each and every member of 53 man squad of winning team will pocket $150,000 regardless of them playing or not playing the game itself.
- Runners-up Player Bonuses: Every member of losing team roster will get $75,000
For most of the top players this bonus is not significant because they already have lucrative professional contracts with their respective teams. New England Patriots average squad salary is around $2.3 million a year which goes to show the super bowl bonus is peanuts for them. But since every player on the roster gets $150,000 or $75,000 depending on the outcome of Super Bowl some of the fringe and young players on the roster who are on minimum NFL wage of $420,000 a year must be happy with these added incentives. Below is the details on how NFL distribute bonuses post-season matches.

That is rediculous! Nobody is worth that much money!! I am a retired RN and I just made a little over that amount in my career. There are police out there and firemen out there that put their lives on the line everyday and they don’t get paid anywhere near that amount of money. Also teachers that taught these young men when they were kids and what do they get paid? Next to nothing but they love their jobs teaching the best they can, if the kids don’t cuss at them or disrespect them is some way or bring a gun to school. I just think that these players need to takeaway cut in pay!! Even 50% wouldn’t hurt them!!!
Wrong! I knew this girl in college that could do this thing with her tongue… She was worth millions as far as I was concerned….
You know the NFL isn’t a governmental job, right? They get so much money because they bring in a lot of money from fans. Who spend money to watch them. It’s entertainment. Like actors with their movies. They only get paid what you give them.
and then where would the money go? These athletes are not paid by the government they are paid by their privately funded teams. No one is forcing someone to spend thousands of dollars to go watch a football game but they do and some of that money goes to the players. There is a reason only the top 1% of people in the world become a professional athlete, it is one of the hardest things in the world to do.
Love to win the grand prize
