Playoff shares

Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff January 12, 2008 05:39 PM

Each player competing in tonight's game will earn a $20,000 playoff share, according to the collective bargaining agreement.

The share increases to $37,500 per player for those competing in next week's conference championship.

Players on a Super Bowl losing team will earn $40,000. Players on a Super Bowl winning team will earn $78,000.

  1. This is not clear. Does the player on a winning team get $20,000 for winning the first playoff game, $37,500 for winning the conference championship, and $40,000 for winning the Super Bowl, for a total of $97,500? Or does the individual share just increase from 20 to 37.5 to 40 thousand?
