$150k I think is league minimum if you're practice squad, but that's just from memory in other threads on here.
Eh, way more than that. $660,000 for 2021.


edit: You did say practice squad...so here is the practice squad break down. It is less than roster min. closer to your figure depending on experience and if the team goes to the playoffs etc. somewhere in the 170k-200k range and there is some language about housing etc too.

I mean, Antonio Gates played college basketball and not football and he had a pretty decent career in the NFL. Not saying Jacobson is the athlete Gates was, but crazier things have happened.

Marcus Pollard was the OG. Bradley didnt even have a fb team.

Do the kids still say "OG"? Is that still a thing?

Jimmy Graham and Tony Gonzalez were basketball players and they turned out pretty well at tight end. Hopefully he makes the practice squad.

They also both played college football at the TE position and Gonzalez was an All-American so just a tad different.

MJ must be doing something right though to at least get a look.

Crazy they’re adding him a week before the first pre season game. I’ll be at the last pre season game, hope he gets to play.

He has a chance at best to make the practice squad, which should be goal. He has no chance of making the 53 man roster, which is fine this year. He has to show enough, that the Seahawk think there is enough talent for him to make the roster next season.

To make the roster this year he would have to blow them away basically every single day in practice on film and in the games. He would have to be a difference maker and with him being away from the game so long, it hard seeing him be that type of player.
