Players receive paychecks every two weeks, and there are 13 pay periods from Dec. 4 to May 31. Each paycheck is $2,080, which adds up to a base pay of $27,040 for anyone who spends the entire season on a team. XFL teams have 52 players on a roster, but only 46 will suit up for each game.

You might want to sit down before reading this: the average salary of an NFL waterboy is a whopping $53,000 a year, according to Stack.com. Some are unpaid or work as stipend interns, per reference.com, but the full-time water and towel boys are considered part of the training staff.
Mascots generally make anywhere from $25,000 a year starting out in the minor leagues to $60,000 in the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL, said Raymond, who now runs Raymond Entertainment, a character branding and mascot training company which has created and worked on more than 100 mascots over the past 20 years.

According to Stack.com, NFL waterboys make $53,000 on average. They also get lots of free gear, souvenirs from players (from jerseys to jockstraps), and access to the team that most fans only dream of. This is a good salary for anyone, but the figure does come with a catch.
Lastly, the XFL will be successful because of the head coaches running each team as they have been around NFL players and have had success throughout the football careers. It might be too early to tell, but the XFL has all the resources to succeed, all we have to do now is sit back and watch.

Although the inaugural season of the relaunched XFL lasted just five weeks, the league had its fair share of stars. Once the league officially canceled the remainder of the season last week, the XFL allowed their players to sign NFL contracts starting Monday, March 23.
