But if a player goes to IR, they still get their full season salary and still has the associated cap hit.
So, you need new money in order to bring a player up from the practice squad to the active roster.
A rookie on the practice squad for the full season will make $302,400 for the 18-week season.
Minimum salary for a rookie on the active roster is $795,000 in 2024.
That additional money has to be accounted for because injuries will happen.
