ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Technically you still get paid six figures on the practice squad, but I can tell you when I was on the practice squad after taxes it was $55,000 I made. We still get taxed in the highest bracket.
You try to help out your family, your mother, a little bit but they have to know — and you to let them know — you're on the practice squad. So, I can't do as much as I was able to do when I was on the active roster (before being demoted to the practice squad during his rookie season in 2012).
