A pair of New York Giants were among the biggest beneficiaries of the NFL’s Performance Based Pay (PBP) bonus system for the 2023 season. Safety Jason Pinnock earned $817,224 in PBP, 12th-most in the NFL, and guard Ben Bredeson earned $764,130, 19th-most.
The league’s performance-based pay program gives bonuses to players based on playing time and their regular pay, with lower-paid players who get a lot of playing time receiving the biggest bonuses. It is a collectively bargained benefit that compensates all players based upon their playing time and salary levels.
Pinnock, playing on a rookie contract that paid him a $940,000 base salary, played 1,011 defensive snaps and 128 special teams snaps.
