[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 301602, member: 1007"] It's not so much about snapping off as I hate when people play the "Woe is me" card. The practice squad guys make $5200 a week, minimum. That's $83,200/year to sit on the friggin practice squad. Obviously it's not that simple as players are cut all the time depending on team needs, but still, it's great work if you can get it. The minimum NFL salary this year is what, $350,000 just to be on the active roster? That's approximately 7 times more than the national median household income. While I certainly don't have a problem with players earning that kind of money for essentially being a glorified practice squadder, it's hard for me to be too sympathetic towards the players. You want health insurance? Pay for it. God knows you make more than enough money, should you choose to budget properly. [/QUOTE]
