Going to the game to watch a match could not be just the only thing to see. Having a mascot on any NFL team is also part of the side-attraction people see at the games.
These lovely mascots dance and make funny moves to get the fans going wild, well except for a touchdown as nothing beats the shouts and screams of a touchdown.
NFL mascots salary: How much do NFL mascots get paid?
Ever wondered if those funny guys in the costumes parading the field get paid? Well yeah, they get paid. In fact, being a mascot is considered a job.
The Mascot job is quite similar but a little different, just not like the mascots we have in our high schools. Because they only wear the costume for extra credits in gym class.
On the NFL field, mascots earned on an average a total of $60,000 per season though it is said some mascots can also earn almost $100,000 per season, while others can earn around $30,000.
Aside from the mascot showing up on the field, they also get paid for making appearances outside the games which are negotiated by the team.
