Overview
- Sean Rhyan, a Green Bay Packers guard, played 34.952% of offensive snaps over his first three NFL seasons, missing the 35% threshold by two plays.
- Under the NFL's Collective Bargaining Agreement, players drafted in Rounds 3–7 can earn a significant raise if they meet specific snap-count criteria across two or three seasons.
- Rhyan's 2025 base salary remains $1,363,571 instead of increasing to $3.406 million due to failing to qualify for the Proven Performance Escalator (PPE).
- Unofficial snap counts from Pro Football Reference suggested Rhyan met the threshold, but only NFL and NFLPA data are used for contract calculations.
- Rhyan's agent, Cameron Foster, expressed disappointment, citing discrepancies between official and unofficial snap data, but the Packers cannot retroactively apply the raise without a contract extension.
