nine Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 The NFL announced its list of performance-based compensation for players whose playing time exceeded their salaries as compared to the rest of the team. These payouts are designed to compensate players who play a ton of reps despite receiving a relatively low salary. Jayon Brown played 851 snaps, which was the team's 4th highest total on defense....yet his $555K salary ranked #36 on the roster. The league awarded Brown a performance-based bonus of $489,664....the league's fifth-highest performance-based payout for the 2018 season. Kevin Byard led the defense with 1043 defensive snaps...but his $784K salary ranked #29 on the team. Byard received a performance-based bonus of $117,580. https://nflcommunications.com/Pages/2018-Performance-Based-Pay-Distributions-Announced.aspx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I’ve always thought this system was a great idea. Reward the guys playing on smaller contracts based on merit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanruss Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I've never heard of it. Great Idea. If the league pays it.. then it doesnt incentivize teams to reduce player reps in order to save cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterCopperpot1 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 This is awesome. Hoping Brown and Byard are staples of this defense for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never heard of it before today I even think it goes back as far as McCourty and Finnegan but can't recall how far. I remember late round picks pretty far back getting money for performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justafan Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Byard still needs a new deal. Hope they knock this out now instead of getting cute and waiting to the end of the season and then they have to deal with Mariota (probably) and Byard.

CaliTitan3518 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Damn I had no idea about this either. Pretty sweet deal for players that contribute and are on shitty deals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I just hope we keep them long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
