Practice squad rules (per Wikipedia) The minimum for veterans with at least three years of experience is $16,800 per week with the maximum salary set at $21,300 per week.
After rejoicing about Michael Carter agreeing to sign up for the Cardinals’ practice squad, I began to wonder what he feels about the fact that he is now making at most $21,300 a week on the Cardinals’ practice squad after the Cardinals (or any other team via a waiver claim) were unwilling to pay him the $3.2M he rightfully had earned (through the NFL’s proven performance salary escalator) for this season.
