Each year the NFL minimum salaries increase by $15,000, up to $435k for a rookie in 2015. A player’s minimum salary is determined by his years of experience (YOE), ranging from 0 to 10 or more. The chart below shows the minimum (P5) salaries a team can contract a player to based on Years of Experience (credited seasons).
| Yrs. | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | $435,000 | $450,000 | $465,000 | $480,000 |
| 1 | $510,000 | $525,000 | $540,000 | $555,000 |
| 2 | $585,000 | $600,000 | $615,000 | $630,000 |
| 3 | $660,000 | $675,000 | $690,000 | $705,000 |
| 4-6 | $745,000 | $760,000 | $775,000 | $790,000 |
| 7-9 | $870,000 | $885,000 | $900,000 | $915,000 |
| 10+ | $970,000 | $985,000 | $1,000,000 | $1,015,000 |
When qualified, a player with more than four or more years of NFL experience can earn his total minimum salary, but have a cap figure that reflects two years of experience – or in 2015, $585,000. The contract must be for only one year, and must not contain combined bonus money (signing, roster, workout) that exceeds $65,000.
For instance, Victor Butler recently re-signed with the New York Giants on a 1 year $745,000 contract. With more than two years of experience (5), and a 1 year contract, Butler qualfies for the cap hit benefit. His 2015 cap figure will be $585,000 with the Giants.
