Many of the players in the UFL will not make much money in their first year. It has been reported that first year contracts will be for $35,000. That is about a 10th of what the lowest paid NFL player will make. Starting quarterbacks could earn more than that though as numbers like $100,000 a year have been thrown around although $60,000 is more likely. Keep in mind though that the UFL is only playing a two month season in the first year so that is not so bad.
