The NFL officially announced performance-based pay distributions for the 2017 season earlier this week.
You can find a detailed explanation on how performance-based pay works by clicking here, but in simple terms it’s designed to reward players who play a lot of snaps but aren’t due high salaries (relatively speaking). Note that quality of performance does not factor in here. It’s about playing time. Also note that these payouts DO NOT count against a team’s salary cap space.
For the second year in a row, Jalen Mills led all Eagles players in performance-based pay.
