Certain players did not have to be on the field during the Super Bowl to claim their bonuses. However, there are certain criteria that need to be fulfilled in order to claim the bonus.

If a player has only been on the team’s roster for less than three games before the final, they can only collect half of the entire bonus. Moreover, players that have been dropped by their teams from the active and inactive list due to injury can only be entitled to half or a quarter of the sum.
