Super Bowl Player Bonus Shares

In addition to a ring and a permanent place in history, players on the winning and losing Super Bowl teams also receive a sizable bonus check.​ This money comes from an NFL postseason pool, not individual teams, according to "Money" magazine. Practice squad players don't receive bonuses but continue to get paid their regular salaries during the weeks their teams are in the playoffs, according to Joel Corry, writing on cbssports.com.

"Money" notes that to receive a Super Bowl bonus, players:

• Must have been on the 53-man roster for the Super Bowl as well as the previous three games
• Must have played in at least eight games for the team that season without being contracted to another team
• Are injured veteran players with one year of tenure who were put on the injured list during the season
• Are injured four-year veterans who went on the injured list in the preseason

Read below to see the bonuses handed out to each player on the winning and losing teams beginning with the first Super Bowl.
