This can be Augmented by Bonuses for Individual Play and Teams Goals met.. Bonuses paid after the Super bowl, Contracts do not include Playoff money that is considered separate, as each player gets the same amount.

During the NFL playoffs, players do not receive additional pay based on their regular season salaries. Instead, they receive specific playoff bonuses. Let’s break it down:
Salary Cap and Regular Season:
The NFL salary cap places a limit on how much teams can pay players during the regular season. For the 2023 campaign, this figure is set at $224.8 million1.
All players on the 53-man roster, whether active or on Injured Reserve (IR), Physically Unable to Perform (PUP), or the Practice Squad (PS), count against the team’s Salary Cap. The only exceptions are players on the NFL’s exempt lists2.
Playoff Compensation:
Players do not receive their regular season salaries during the playoffs.
Instead, they earn specific bonuses based on their performance in each playoff round.
Here’s the breakdown for the 2023-24 NFL playoffs:
Wild Card Weekend:
If a Wild Card team was a regular season division winner, players earn $46,500 each.
If the team was not a division winner, players earn $41,500 each.
Teams with a bye for the Wild Card round earn the lesser of these two payments.
Divisional Round:
All players on the active 53-man roster earn $46,500.
Conference Championship:
All players on the active 53-man roster earn $69,000.
Super Bowl:
Players from the winning Super Bowl team receive an extra $157,000 each.
Players from the losing team earn $82,00034.
Salary Cap Manipulation:
While the salary cap is a hard cap, teams can manipulate it using various mechanisms.
For example, signing bonuses are prorated over the contract’s duration, allowing teams to create more cap space.
Teams can also restructure contracts to open up additional cap room in the short term1.
In summary, playoff bonuses are separate from regular season salaries, and players’ earnings during the playoffs do not directly impact the team’s salary cap.
