08:01 AM ET 03.30 | While it pales in comparison to the average NFL player's game check -- reportedly in the neighborhood of $118,000 -- many players are about to see some salary relief. The NFL Players Association this week began contacting players found eligible to receive payments from its lockout fund. Those payments will begin April 15. The NFLPA established the fund to help players in need, and its accounting department has begun sending out notification letters and direct-deposit slips. The letters and forms going out to players -- copies of which were acquired by NFL Network/NFL.com -- include information on receiving payments. According to an NFLPA source, the maximum payments to an individual player would total $60,000, to be paid out this offseason during the lockout.

Largely because most of them don't know how to save money.
