What is the veteran minimum salary for an NFL player?

The veteran minimum salary for an NFL player is determined by the number of credited seasons the player has in the league. For players with a significant amount of experience, the minimum salary tends to be higher. As of 2023, the veteran minimum salary was indeed set at $915,000 for players with more than two accrued seasons.

Understanding the salary structure is important for agents, as it helps in negotiations and in advising clients on what to expect based on their experience and stature in the league. The minimum salary guidelines are also established through the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the NFL and NFLPA, reflecting the need to provide fair compensation for veteran players.
