The NFL league office released the list of the top-25 Performance-Based Pay Distributions for the 2023 season in a memo Monday. The Pittsburgh Steelers walked away with one name on the list — left tackle Dan Moore Jr.
Fans will undoubtedly be shocked to hear that, especially considering the disappointing quality of Moore’s performance this past season. However, considering that the Performance-Based Pay program attempts to compensate players based on their playing time relative to salary, it does make more sense. Moore played 95% of snaps in the 2023 season while earning a base salary of $940,000 — tied for the 108th among offensive tackles.
