NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation

I have a couple of questions for you.

1. How do these players get paid. Is it only a once a week type of deal during the season? Are they paid salaries for training camp or do they recieve nothing other than during the regular season? (Now I do know how the roster bonuses work so no need to breach that topic.)

2. After reading an article on Redskins.com concerning our special teams situation, I am concerned about competition in training camp. One thing that really bothers me is why we did not resign our punter from last year. Hunter Smith, was it because of is injury issues? He was about as good as you could get for us last year and I don't understand hesitation to bring him back.

The kicker I am not as worried about because I am sure if he doesnt kick well we will go out and get a guy or 2 for a kicking competition.

Thanks in advance for any info.

1. They get a weekly stipend for training camp, different pay scales based on experience. How they get paid during the season depends. Most get paid on a bi-weekly basis. But I've also heard some players request monthly payments, I guess it depends.

2. I don't know why they didn't keep Hunter Smith. But no one else has picked him up yet either so I guess there's still a possibility he re-signs
