Broncos Cheerleader’s Double Life Fuels NFL Pay Debate

Denver Broncos cheerleader Ann-Marie Muscarello reveals she works as an ortho nurse on weekdays and cheers on weekends, spotlighting the ongoing pay struggles for NFL squads. Cheerleaders are independent contractors paid per practice and game, with veterans reportedly earning about $75/hour and roughly $150 per game (about $22,500 a year), far less than many healthcare roles. The Netflix doc America’s Sweethearts has increased scrutiny and spurred some raises (e.g., Cowboys), fueling fan calls for higher salaries across the league.

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders reportedly received a roughly 400% pay boost for the 2025 season, with top pay around $75 per hour and about $75,000 annually, making them among the NFL’s highest-paid cheer squads. Earlier reporting placed pay at roughly $500 per appearance or $75–$150 per game, and many dancers still juggle other jobs. The pay rise, highlighted by NYU and Times coverage and linked to Netflix’s America's Sweethearts, could set a new standard for NFL cheerleader compensation and reflect broader discussions about earnings in entertainment roles.

"Inside the Paychecks of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders"

Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, despite their high-profile status, earn relatively low wages, averaging around $150 per game, with some variation based on seniority and position. The role is considered part-time, requiring cheerleaders to hold additional jobs to support themselves. The job is often pursued for passion and the unique experience rather than financial gain, with many cheerleaders covering personal expenses to maintain the required image. The issue of low pay has led to lawsuits and ongoing discussions about fair compensation in the NFL.
