NFL players under contract are paid each week, from the start of the season to its end. Each game check includes a portion of the player's annual salary, but money from bonuses typically is doled out as different lump sums throughout the season.
Armstead explained that when the 49ers restructured his five-year, $85 million contract, they converted his salary into a signing bonus for cap relief. All in all, Armstead's gross earnings for this particular check were about $390,000, and his take-home pay was just under $200,000.
As San Francisco's longest-tenured player, Armstead has more than earned his money. Now, the 49ers Faithful hope he and the rest of the team can earn a Super Bowl trophy.
