The Rams signed Tanner Ingle as an undrafted free agent after the former Wolfpacker went undrafted. Even though they decided to waive him, they ultimately wanted to keep him around. Maybe it was because of moments like this in the Preseason and Fall Camp.

Below is a breakdown of the pay scale of members of NFL Practice Squads.

“Players with two or fewer accrued NFL seasons earn at least $11,500 per week, which equals $207,000 for 18 weeks spent on the practice squad. (A player accrues a season when they are on full-time pay status for at least six regular-season games). Players with two or more accrued seasons make a minimum of $15,400 per week and $277,200 for the whole season. For comparison, the minimum salary for a rookie on an active roster this season is $705,000.” (NBC)

“If a practice squad player is promoted to the active roster, he earns the prorated minimum salary for a player with his years of experience. So a rookie called up to the active roster ahead of a game would see his pay increased from $11,500 to over $39,000. A player with seven-plus years of experience would earn over $62K.” (NBC)
