Victory against the Kansas City Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on February 11 will mean a $164,000 bonus for each 49ers player. Each player on the losing Super Bowl team will still pocket a respectable $89,000.
The road to Super Bowl 58 saw the 49ers win two playoff games. For their efforts in the Divisional Playoff round, players earned a bonus of $50,500. The NFC Championship Game brought an additional $73,000 bonus for each player.
49ers players earned $45,500 during the Wild Card round despite not suiting up for a game. This bonus extends to every playoff participant, including those on the top-seeded teams that enjoyed first-round byes.
That means each 49ers player could walk away with an extra $333,000. Barrows notes that this is approximately 38 percent of starting quarterback Brock Purdy's salary. As of now, each 49ers player has already banked $169,000.
Players on the injured reserve list also receive these bonuses, while those who spend only part of the season with a team get half the amount.
