How much does an NFL radio play-by-play announcer make?

[PanthersATL]

According to Scott Fowler, in an article about former Panthers announcer applying for a job with the Ravens...

what that job pays, incidentally, when the Ravens posted it publicly they said the salary would be $4,000 to $5,000 per game. An NFL season consists of 20-24 games, including the preseason and potential playoff games, so it will end up somewhere between $80,000 and $120,000 a year. The person hired will be an independent contractor, which is commonplace in the NFL these days for team broadcasters, and also have other radio and TV hosting assignments.

They can do other gigs alongside those jobs. Or around them.

If you get one of those jobs you can get an agent, you might need one to get the gig  But they can supplement that game day money  

 There is a lot of stuff they can do during the week  

I don’t know what Rosinski has been doing but once I saw the Masters or the US Open or something and he was part of the team

I know what I made as a radio broadcaster for a smaller college basketball team right out of college. It was not much, even for then, but that was 30 years ago, and a different market and different sport.

Didn't Rosinski get his nose out of joint because they didn't give him an NFC Championship ring? I seem to recall that beng at least part of the story.

Yeah. Not sure who got their nose out of joint between him and JR. I think it was said that JR didn’t like him making that request.  
JR being an ex player, I can see why he wouldn’t feel like media should get credit for team accomplishments.  
 

I wouldn’t imagine a student broadcaster would get a lot. The attraction is the experience and exposure of you do a good job. Resume building. Connection building. ThT sort of thing. But I am only using my experience in a different field to make assumptions. 
 

I think once you get an agent you have more financial opportunities but I never worked in that arena.
