STEELERS PLAYOFF PAYOUT
Every team that makes the NFL playoffs receives additional pay for making the playoffs, and despite the Pittsburgh Steelers losing in the Wild Card Round against the Baltimore Ravens, eligible players received $49,500 in playoff pay, per former NFL agent Joel Corry in an article for CBS Sports. For players to be eligible, they need to be on the 53-man roster or injured reserve at game time, but players not on the 53-man roster at game time who played at least eight games for the team who are not under contract with another team in the same conference can also receive a payout.
