Green Bay, Wisconsin - How much are the two snapshots of NFL players worth? For Green Bay Packers guard Sean Rhyan, it's over $2 million.

If he competed in two games at any time in the first three seasons in the NFL (2022-24), Rhyan would be eligible for a proven performance escalator. That would have meant that his base salary would jump to $3.406 million in 2025, rather than the $1,363,571 he would earn based on his initial rookie deal.

That's the difference of $2,042,429 - all because the 35% score he encountered in the NFL's collective bargaining agreement didn't hit twice.

It points out if a player is selected in round 3-7 (Rhyan is the third round pick in 2022). Become the season to come. Here's how Rhyan missed:

•In his rookie season, he only played one game but did not play once on the offensive end. He played a special team that was not used in the calculation. The Packers have 1,094 offenses, according to the NFL Players Association and the league used to calculate percentages.

•In 2023, he played 183 snapshots in the right back and played 1,096 games (16.7%) in the defender role.

• Last season, when he first became a starter, he played 961 in a possible 1,082 offensive snapshots (88.8%). In the first half of the season, Ryan split the steal with 2024 first-round pick Jordan Morgan. However, after Morgan failed to suffer a shoulder injury in Week 9, Rhyan played full-time — except for eight snapshots in the second quarter of Detroit Week 14. He left the game but returned to the game after a collision with Detroit Lions defender Kwon Alexander.

• Overall, this means Ryan has 1,144 offenses for the Packers over the past three seasons, or 34.952% of the 2022-24 game. At least he didn't miss it once. The extra game will only bring Ryan to 34.983%.

Rhyan's agent Cameron Foster said he believes Ryan scored 35% of the number of SNAPs published online. For example, based on the SNAP count of Pro Football Commution, which is informal, NFL or NFLPA not used, Rhyan will be eligible. Its number has allowed Rhyan to hit 1,146 possible 3272 snapshots (35.003%).

"(Our) made up 35% of him," Foster told ESPN. "But both the NFL and the NFLPA kept him out. So, according to the Packers, they didn't give him an escalator. We're definitely very disappointed with that."

Sources with NFL contract knowledge say that certain contracts contain statistical markers about incentives or escalators when not surrounding specific language. Even if he wants, the packer can't give Rhyan a raise. They have to extend their contracts to change his 2025 salary, which will also have an impact on salary caps, which may also affect future expansion if they decide to keep him later in the season.

Rhyan's original rookie contract is a four-year, $5.12 million deal that includes a $905,712 signing bonus. However, he lost $235,000 of his base salary as a rookie, as he was suspended for six games as he was found to violate the NFL policy on material enhancement.

In March, Rhyan received an additional $697,006 in compensation through the NFL's performance-based compensation program. That was the third highest payment for left tackle Rasheed Walker’s $925,612 and right tackle Zach Tom’s $849,141. Each team's library has a pool of $141.28 billion, distributed based on game time and salary level. It rewards players with lower salaries to play an important role in the team.

Rhyan is expected to compete for starting work again in Right Guard this season. He can face Morgan's competition, and Morgan is expected to fight Walker on left tackle.
