According to multiple sources, the minimum salary for an NFL player in 2023 is $750,000. This amount applies exclusively to NFL rookies during their debut season. As they advance, the minimum rises to $870,000 and $940,000 by the third year. However, its important to note that this minimum figure doesnt guarantee that a player will receive the entirety of that amount. Players who spend every week of the NFL year on the active 53-man roster will get their full allotment, but if a team cuts or puts a player on their practice squad, the amounts change drastically.
