Found February 05, 2012 on Media Daily LA: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Tiquan Underwood
TEAMS: New England Patriots

Even though he was cut from the New England Patriots, a day before the team played in Super Bowl XLVI (46), wide receiver Tiquan Underwood will still receive a Super Bowl payout.According to ESPN, because of the fact that Underwood was active in eight games during the 2011-2012 NFL season, he'll still be entitled, under the CBA, Collective Bargaining Agreement, to receive a Super Bowl payout (win or lose).Also, if the Patriots do win the Super Bowl, Underwood will also be entitled to a Super Bowl championship ring.
