Incorrect. They don't get game checks till week 1.
They may get some money during training camp but the big checks start rolling in once the regular season starts.
Most people won't, while claiming it was never an issue in the first place.pehawk":35ghbpz1 said:Of course to see his point you need to get past your own "paycheck" envy.
