PLAYOFFSThe authors of the book go on to give specific amounts, but they are all listed as of 2016, when the book I own was published.Below, I have kept the format presented in the book, but updated numbers of the most recent post-season.Postseason amounts increase each year, and in 2019 (following the 2018 season), players received postseason pay of: $27,000 for a wild card game ($29,000 if they were division winner entering this round), plus $29,000 for the divisional round, plus $54,000 for the conference championship, and $118,000 for winning the Super Bowl or $59,000 for losing. The CBA defines postseason pay for ten yearsThe amounts for these payments are written into the CBA and defined for each year.I copied that table from pg 168 of the CBA and paste it here for reference:Qualifying for full pay, half pay, or quarter payPlayers don’t have to play in the game, or even still be on the team to get at least a partial payment for post-season play.There appear to be only two possibilities listed in the book, but looking at the CBA, I found that there is actually a third possible payment defined in the agreement.Players who are on the team during their playoff games receive full pay from the league pool, which is part of the Player Benfits bucket in the league-wide Player Cost.Players who had a significant role with the team during the regular season, but who are no longer with the team during post-season play (as in the Percy Harvin example) may qualify for half-pay.Certain First-Year players may qualify for 1⁄4 pay.I went to the CBA itself to find out how these three categories are defined.The information is on pages 168 and 169.I learned quite a lot, and I created a little ‘Decision Tree’ for determining how much playoff money a player qualifies for.I thought I would present it first, then provide the details copied and pasted from the CBA below it (worried that the legalese of the CBA provisions might scare too many people away from scrolling down to my decision tree).The Decision TreeThe decision tree is based on details copied directly from the CBA (emphasis is mine) and pasted below.To qualify for FULL PAY for playoff gamesA player who, at the time of the game in question, is and has been on the Active List or Inactive List of a Club participating in the game for AT LEAST THREE PREVIOUS GAMES (i.e., regular or postseason) will receive the full amount designated in Section 2 for such game.A player who, at the time of the game in question, is not on the Active List or Inactive List of a Club participating in the game but was on the Active or Inactive List for EIGHT OR MORE GAMES (i.e., regular or postseason) will receive the full amount designated in Section 2 for such game provided he is not under contract to another Club in the same Conference at the time of the game in question.A veteran player injured during the regular season and removed from the Active List or Inactive List of a Club participating in the game in question for reason of injury will receive the full amount designated in Section 2 for such game provided he is still under contract to the Club at the time of the game.If a veteran player who completed the season in which his fourth year or more of Credited Service ... was earned is injured during the preseason and, as a result, is removed from the Active List or Inactive List of a Club participating in the game in question, he will receive the full amount designated in Section 2 for such game provided that he is still under contract to the Club at the time of the game.To qualify for HALF PAY for playoff gamesA player who, at the time of the game in question, is and has been on the Active List or Inactive List of a Club participating in the game for LESS THAN THREE PREVIOUS GAMES (i.e., regular or postseason) will receive one-half the amount designated in Section 2 for such game.A player who, at the time of the game in question, is not on the Active List or Inactive List of a Club participating in the game, but who was on the Club’s Active List or Inactive List for AT LEAST THREE AND NOT MORE THAN SEVEN games (i.e., regular and postseason) will receive one-half the amount designated in Section 2 for such game, provided he is not under contract to another Club in the same Conference at the time of the game in questionIf a first-year player is injured during the regular season and, as a result, is removed from the Active List or Inactive List of a Club participating in the game in question, he will receive one-half (½) the amount designated in Section 2 above for such game, provided that he is still under contract to the Club at the time of the game and had signed an NFL Player Contract or Practice Squad Contract during a prior League Year.If a veteran player who has NOT completed the season in which his fourth year of Credited Service ... has been earned is injured during the preseason and, as a result, is removed from the Active List or Inactive List of a Club participating in the game in question Cheap Dwayne Haskins Jersey , he will receive one-half (½) the amount designated in Section 2 for such game provided that he is still under contract to the Club at the time of the game.To qualify for ONE QUARTER PAY for playoff gamesIf a first-year player is injured during the preseason and, as a result, is removed from the Active List or Inactive List of a Club participating in the game in question, he will receive one-quarter (¼) of the amount designated in Section 2 above for such game provided that he is still under contract to the Club at the time of the game and; (A) he was on that Club’s Practice Squad for eight or more games in a prior League Year; or (B) he received at least one, but fewer than three, regular season game checks while on that Club’s Active or Inactive or Reserve Injured list during a prior League Year.Note 1: “First year players” are not rookies.A “rookie” has never before signed an NFL contract.“First year players” have previously signed a contract, but did not qualify for an accrued season.An example of a first year player from the current Redskins roster is long-snapper Andrew East, who is 27 years old and has signed eight NFL contracts, but was on the roster for only 3 games in 2018.Note 2: For the clauses cited above that apply to “First Year Players”, the CBA says, “A player who has not signed an NFL Player Contract or NFL Practice Squad Contract during a previous NFL season is not entitled to postseason pay under [the relevant] Subsections.”PRO BOWLLike the playoff amounts, payment to players for being named to the Pro Bowl are listed in the CBA on page 170.I have copied the table, and paste it here to show the amount paid, increasing each season: The NFL season is officially over, and the off-season has begun. Although the 2018 season did not go the way the Redskins planned, hope now springs eternal, because as we all know, the Redskins really like winning off the field.I used Fanspeak’s On the Clock Mock Draft simulator 2019 for this seven round mock draft. I chose the Fanspeak Big Board by our own Steve Shoup, and Fanspeak Team Needs. For a more challenging scenario, I chose the difficult setting for my mock. Before I did my draft, I chose some key free agent signings that I’d like to see the team make, so you can see the rational for some of my selections.Key Free Agent Signings:Darqueze DennardCBShane RayEDGETyrell WilliamsWRYou can see the entire draft here.Player Breakdown:RD 1 - Devin White:You all know my love of the linebacker position. Most of you also know how incredibly critical I was last season of the inside linebacker play. The linebackers are the lifeline of the defense, and as they go, so does that side of the football. In White, the Redskins get the best linebacker in college football. He has everything you look for as a future leader of the defense. He’s fast, aggressive, instinctive and a tenacious hitter. He can play sideline-to-sideline, drop into coverage, cover backs and tight ends one-on-one and blitz. He’s a do-it-all player who has All-Pro potential. It won’t take long for fans to fall in love with this pick!RD 2 - Deebo Samuel:Wide receiver is one of the weakest positions on this team. The addition of Tyrell Williams via free agency and Deebo Samuel in the draft immediately make this unit dangerous.Samuel is very much like former Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon in how physical he is after the catch, and his running back like mentality. He is a much better route runner than Garcon was coming into the league, and should be an immediate contributor at any of the three wide receiver spots (X, Z or Slot). RD 3 - Jarrett Stidham:I have really began taking quite a liking to Stidham. He’s not a polished prospect just yet, but his potential is through the roof. The more I study him, the more I like him. Stidham has good size, an excellent arm, good pocket presence and sneaky athleticism. I have a feeling after watching a lot of his film, that he may indeed turn out to be the best quarterback in this class down the road. His numbers at Auburn weren’t eye-popping, and he surprised many when he declared for the 2019 draft, but with the right coaching, and some patience, he should be a high-level NFL starter for years. RD 3 - Ryan Bates: I know quite a bit about Ryan Bates, as I’ve watched the guy play since he arrived at Penn State as a blue-chip in-state prospect. He was moved around during his time in Happy Valley due to injuries and necessity. He can play either tackle position, but his future in the NFL is at guard. Bates has great fundamentals, powerful hands, and very light, quick feet. In my opinion, he will be a plug-and-play left guard, who has the ability to slide out to tackle in a pinch. He is scheme diverse, but I really see him being great when asked to operate in space and work up to the second level. RD 5 - Bryce Love:A knee injury suffered last season is why you see Love dropping in this draft. When healthy, he is a dynamic running back with plus receiving skills. With Chris Thompson on the roster, Love may have the luxury of going on the PUP list and learning the system while he works his way back to 100 percent. This may be a pick for the future rather than the present, but if things work out, he could be a great change-of-pace back to Guice, and Thompson’s eventual replacement.RD 5 - Chuma Edoga:Edoga is a raw prospect with a high ceiling. Although he’s under 6’5”, he has incredibly long arms, and quick feet. He is a positional blocker versus a traditional mauler. He’ll need to add some functional strength, but he a piece of clay for a offensive line coach to mold. RD 6 - Darius West:West showed well during Kentucky’s 2018 campaign, and his bowl game against Penn State was one of his best all season. He loves to mix it up at the line of scrimmage, and will play much bigger than his 210 pound listed weight. He’s a bit tight-hipped which will limit him in coverage, but he should make an immediate impact on special teams, and be a future contributor at strong safety. RD 7 - Carl Granderson:Granderson is a developmental EDGE with a solid motor and a good frame to build on. He needs to work on his secondary moves, and be a bit more consistent with his pad level at the point of contact. He has good bend and burst that coaches will love to work with.
