Green Bay Packers guard Sean Rhyan lost over $2 million due to missing two snaps in the first three seasons of his NFL career. According to the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, players selected in the latter draft rounds can see their salaries increase significantly if they participate in a minimum percentage of plays. Rhyan's participation stats revealed he narrowly missed qualifying for the 'Proven Performance Escalator' by coming up two snaps short, highlighting the financial impact of his game-time opportunities.
Had he been on the field for two additional plays at any point in his first three NFL seasons, Rhyan would have qualified for the Proven Performance Escalator.
The difference between Rhyanâs potential base salary and his actual salary is more than $2 million, illustrating the high stakes of roster decisions in the NFL.
