T.Y. Hilton will make more today in bonus check then has regular game check
T.Y. Hilton is due a huge pay raise and he deserves a nice chunk of change. Did you know that today T.Y. Hilton will make more from the bonus check of being on the roster than his normal game check?

Players on roster for #NFL Championship weekend will each receive $44,000. #ColtsvsPatriots #PackersvsSeahawks
Hilton was drafted in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft and was signed to a 4 year deal worth $2,642,400. His average salary is $660,600 and if you break that down by 17 checks, he makes 38,858.82 a game. Today he will receive a little more than 5 thousand more just to show up. That is a pretty nice check for some.
