Since there’s a two week gap between the CCG and SB, we’ll call it an extra 5 weeks of work - meaning about $70,000 per week assuming you win (the totals are lower if you lose).
Running some numbers, it looks like weekly game checks for a $1.2m salary would come out to just above $70,000 game checks. So if your base salary exceeds $1.2m, you are actually taking less money as you play into the postseason even if your team is winning.
Guys like Mahomes and Kelce go from making $3m and $1m per week to “only” $70k lol
