The average player in the NFL makes between $300,000 - $600,000 a year. Contrary to popular belief, most NFL players are not signed to the lucrative multi-million dollar contracts that NFL superstars receive. Many players make league minimum. The minimum salaray in the NFL is different for some positions; also, the base salary increases the longer a player remains in the league. Therefore, it is cheaper to replace an aging player who makes league minimum with a rookie at the same position.
