The Seattle Seahawks aren't marching all the way to the Super Bowl for the second-consecutive season just for love of the game. These guys are getting paid, too. On top on their salaries, each player receives bonuses for every playoff game. In the Divisional round against Carolina, each player received $24,000. For the win over Green Bay in the NFC Championship, they each got $44,000. Assuming they win the Super Bowl, everyone will receive $97,000 (they "only" get $47K if they lose). Assuming victory, that's a grand total of $165,000. So the question now, is, what can someone buy around Seattle with that playoff scratch?
