Salary concerns are typically the first thing people think about when discussing spring football leagues like the XFL. It is almost impossible not to imagine how much money players are earning now that the league has triumphantly returned for a third time. Has the fact that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is now in charge affected player compensation in any manner?
According to information from ESPN, XFL players make $5,000 per week in basic compensation plus a $1,000 win bonus. In contrast, the starting annual wage for NFL players in 2023 will be $750,000. This indicates that, with additional incentives, one player might earn almost $60,000 per week.
The XFL's compensation package is worth $20,000, and throughout the campaign, the organization also covers housing and two meals every day.
Another interesting detail is that inactive members will still receive payment for games. This is a welcome addition to a competition that appears to have more money this time around.
Inactive players will receive $1,500 in addition to being qualified for the $1,000 victory bonus. Each squad will have 45 players that are available to play on game day. This guarantees that at least five players will be inactive each week.
According to that system, a player on an unsuccessful team (with zero wins) will still earn $50,000 in 2023. At the conclusion of the regular season, a player on the same compensation system on a 10-0 unbeaten squad would earn $60,000.
Who is the highest-paid XFL player in 2023?
Based on the account of one report, Brett Hundley is the highest-paid player in the third edition of the XFL, earning $200,000 as the new quarterback of the Vegas Vipers.
The Green Bay Packers selected Brett Hundley in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL draft. After three years with the organization, where he played nine games and had a 3-6 record, Hundley was dealt to the Seattle Seahawks for a sixth-round selection.
Since his time with the Seahawks in 2018, Hundley has played his way around the league, appearing for four different NFL teams. After the 2022 campaign, Hundley failed to secure a new NFL contract, but he has since returned as a quarterback in the springtime tournament.
