Big Paydays for Both Seahawks, Broncos

YOU'RE STILL GUARANTEED A HEFTY PAYDAY, JUST NOT NEARLY AS MUCH YOU WOULD GET IF YOU ACTUALLY WON. LET'S GO TO ZAIN ASHER. HOW MUCH ARE THESE PLAYERS TAKING HOME FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAME? >> A.J., THE WINNER OF THE SEAHAWKS WILL BE TAKING HOME $93,000 AND IT'S BEEN STEADILY INCREASING OVER TIME. AS YOU MENTIONED, THE LOSING TEAM IS NOT WALKING AWAY EMPTY HANDED EITHER. THE PLAYERS WILL BE TAKING HOME $46,000, NOT BAD AT ALL FOR A DAY'S WORK. SOME PLAYERS HAVE EXTRA COMPENSATION BUILT INTO THEIR CONTRACTS. SO THAT'S THE MINIMUM. WHEN YOU COMPARE SUPER BOWL CHECKS TO WHAT THESE GUYS MAKE IN A YEAR, IT'S CHUMP CHANGE. A GUY LIKE MARSHAWN LYNCH, TAKE HOME $7 MILLION A YEAR, PEYTON MANNING TAKES HOME TWICE THAT AMOUNT, 15 MILLION. IT'S LESS ABOUT THE SALARY ON GAME DAY AND THE VALUE DEPENDS ON THE PRICE OF GOLD AND IT FLUCTUATES WITH THE PRICE OF GOLD. I'VE BEEN TALKING TO THE NFL AND THE RINGS HAVE A MINIMUM VALUE OF $5,000, THAT'S THE AMOUNT THAT THE NFL WOULD BE PAYING AND IF THE TEAM WANTS TO GET MORE ELABORATE THEY CAN DO SO. JAKE, LOOKING ONLINE, LOOKING AT THE RESALE VALUE OF THESE RINGS, THEY CAN GO FOR AS MUCH AS 40, $50,000. THEY ARE MAKING OUT JUST FINE. >> AND AS YOU NOTED, A LOT OF THESE PLAYERS HAVE, YOU KNOW, WRITERS IN THEIR CONTRACT SAYING, IF YOU WIN THE SUPER BOWL YOU'LL GET A BONUS OF $1 MILLION OR $500,000. STICKING TO THESE SPECIFIC SUPER BOWL BONUSES, HOW MUCH DO THEY END UP PAYING IN TAXES? >> RIGHT. SO BOTH PLAYERS ON BOTH TEAMS WILL ACTUALLY PAY TAXES ON INCOME EARNED WHILE THEY PAY GAINS IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. I'VE BEEN SPEAKING TO THE NEW JERSEY TREASURY DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE DROP TAX. ANYTHING MADE LAST NIGHT ABOVE $75,000 IS TAXED AT 6%. ANYTHING MADE OVER $500,000, THE PEYTON MANNINGS OF THE WORLD, WILL BE TAXED AT 5%. THE SUPER BOWL RINGS ARE ALSO CONSIDERED TAXABLE EARNINGS. JAKE? >> GARDEN STATE IS GOING TO MAKE OUT WITH THAT.
