re: do arena football players make any $$ at all?

---

AFL salaries are modest, with most players earning between $40,000 and $50,000 per season. The league minimum is $31,000, and the average salary, boosted by the contracts of a handful of franchise players who earn six figures, is $80,000. Most arena athletes hold non-football jobs during the offseason.

that was the old league that shut down in 2009...

now it's like $400 to $800 a game and a few players on each team, mostly the QBs, get more, between $1,000 to $1,500 a game... they're not getting rich off it

there is debate over whether the players should be paid more... some say higher paid players lead to a better level of play, and it will, but I don't think that level is something most fans will notice.
