This maybe could go in the Game Room, but it does have a factual answer.
I enjoy John Malecki’s YouTube channels, focused around woodworking and wood shops. But he had originally wanted to play pro football, and after college had a series of assignments to practice squads and things like this:
On April 10, 2010, Malecki signed with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent.[2] On August 26, 2010, he was released.[3]
On August 13, 2010, Malecki signed with the Cleveland Browns.[4][5] On August 31, he was released.[3]
On October 26, 2010, Malecki signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to join the practice squad.[6] After spending the 2010 season on the practice squad, he was re-signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on January 4, 2011 to a futures contract.[7]
Looks like he had six assignments, a mix of practice squad and mostly signed and released in the course of a single summer. But at least one is for about a week in October (last go with the Steelers), which is during the season.
So what does a player on a practice squad make? When you are signed for a week like that, do you get the full league minimum? Are you just paid for that week? It seems like it would be impossible to live like that. Does it matter if your week is during the on- or off- season?
According to this web site, a practice squad player in 2010 got paid $5,200 a week, for each week during the regular season that he’s on a practice squad. (NFL players get their salary paid each week during the regular season; outside of bonuses, and additional payments for participating in the playoffs, they don’t get paid during the off-season.)
Here’s his Pro Football Reference page, which shows that he played in one regular-season game for the Steelers in 2012, and would have drawn a regular-season weekly check for that week, if that was the only week during which he was on the active roster (which it looks like is the case).
The minimum annual salary for an active player during 2012 (from that same page), for someone with no NFL experience (I don’t think practice squad time counts towards service) was $390,000; divided by seventeen (there were seventeen weeks in the season back then), that’d be a weekly game check of $22,941.18.
His Pro Football Reference page also has what is likely a complete list of team transactions related to him – you’ll see that there is a ton of “signed to practice squad” and “released” moves. To figure out how much, in total, he made during his NFL career, you’d have to piece together how many weeks (game days) he was actually on a practice squad, versus not, and then add in that one regular-season game check.
Its possible that he recieved some kind of signing or workout bonus in the summer of 2010 as an UDFA from either the Titans or Browns. Unlikely, but certainly possible. (Note: your dates are wrong for his release from the Titans.)
Similarly when he signed a Reserves/Futures contract with the Bucs in 2011 and Steelers in 2012 he may have received a signing bonus or a small bit of gauranteed money.
Just eyeballing it, it looks like he was on the practice squad for around 21 or 22 weeks and on the active roster for maybe 6 or 7 games.It would be a challenge to get super precise without knowing all the contract minutae.
