Player Salaries

How Salaries are Determined
Salaries are determined based on what position a player is and what round they were taken in. Quarterbacks are worth more than Tight Ends, and a Tight end taken in the first round costs more than a Tight End taken in the fifth. However, these two positions are so different in value that a Second round TE costs the same as a 13th round QB. All Salaries are rounded to the nearest $.1 Million.

Basic
At the beginning of Season 1, all teams will have a HUGE amount of assigned money. This money will be for ALL of their contracts, including paying players for future seasons. So if a player with a salary of $10.0 Million will be signed for three years, then that will cost $30.0 Million. The Money is always evenly spread out over the number over years of the contract. If a player is cut before their contract is over, half of the remaining money on the contract is returned to that team. Players are paid on Week 1 of the season.
