For this year the answer is:
- $1,075.00 per week for first year players.
- $1,900.00 per week for veterans.
- Plus room and board for any player not living within the team's city.
This is set by the collective bargaining agreement between the league and players association. This amount will increase next year and presumably increase during the next bargaining period. From Article 23 of the 2011-2020 Collective Bargaining Agreement:
Section 2. Room and Board: All players will receive room and board during the pre-season training camp, and housing between training camp and the Tuesday prior to their Club’s first regular season game for those players who have not as yet established resi-dence in the Team city.
Section 3. First-year Player Per Diem: A first-year player will receive “per diem” payments, commencing with the first day of Preseason Training Camp and ending one week prior to the Club’s first regular season game, at the following weekly rates for the respective League Years: $850 (2011–12 League Years), $925 (2013–14 League Years), $1,000 (2015–16 League Years), $1,075 (2017–18 League Years), $1,150 (2019–20 League Years).
Section 4. Veteran Per Diem: A veteran player will receive “per diem” payments, commencing with the first day of Preseason Training Camp and ending one week prior to the Club’s first regular season game, at the following weekly rates for the respective League Years: $1,600 (2011–12 League Years), $1,700 (2013–14 League Years), $1,800 (2015–16 League Years), $1,900 (2017–18 League Years), $2,000 (2019–20 League Years).
After a player is cut and not under contract they receive no compensation. However, if they are lucky a player can make the ten-man practice squad which they would be entitled to make $7,600 per week this year
Article 33 Section 3. Minimum salary for a Practice Squad player shall be the following per week, including postseason weeks in which his Club is in the playoffs: $5,700 (2011-2012 League Years), $6,000 (2013 League Year), $6,300 (2014 League Year), $6,600 (2015 League Year), $6,900 (2016 League Year), $7,200 (2017 League Year), $7,600 (2018 League Year), $8,000 (2019 League Year), $8,400 (2020 League Year).
Other than that a player is on his own.
