NFL practice squad players' pay in 2025 depends on their accrued seasons in the league:

• For players with two or fewer accrued seasons, the minimum weekly salary is $13,000. If such a player stays on the practice squad for all 18 weeks of the season, they would earn $234,000 annually

• For players with more than two accrued seasons, the weekly salary ranges from $17,500 to $22,000. Over an 18-week season, this translates to between $315,000 and $396,000

The salaries increase gradually each year through 2030 as per the current collective bargaining agreement. For example, the minimum weekly salary for less experienced players rises from $12,500 in 2024 to $16,750 in 2030, while veterans' weekly salaries range from $16,800 to $21,300 in 2024 and increase accordingly in subsequent years

. In summary, a typical NFL practice squad player with limited experience makes about $13,000 per week in 2025, totaling around $234,000 if on the squad all season, while veterans earn significantly more, up to $22,000 weekly
