Three Buffalo Bills players were among a list of the top 25 performance-based pay earners from the 2023 NFL season. Right tackle Spencer Brown, right guard O’Cyrus Torrence, and linebacker Terrel Bernard will each receive extra pay based on both their playing time and salary levels — as former draft picks selected within the range of Rounds 2 through 7.
Essentially, it’s additional income for eligible players who play a significant amount of snaps while receiving relatively lower salaries. In this case, Brown, Torrence, and Bernard were all drafted after Round 1 and are still playing on cost-controlled rookie deals.
