![]() ![]() There's $125,000 for each game of the playoffs where Rodgers has at least 72.5% offensive playtime during that specific game, as long as his regular season playtime was at least the same number. A team qualifier of improving from 2020 in touchdowns on returns and recoveries was added to make $850,000 of existing likely to be earned incentives unlikely. The Packers reworked a disgruntled Aaron Rodgers' contract to end his offseason rift with the team. Brady is leading the NFL in these two categories this season. ![]() ![]() The team requirement was also added to touchdown passes and passing yards. He must throw a minimum of 224 passes to be eligible to earn any of these incentives. Brady can still make $562,500 each for ranking in the NFL's top five in four of the following categories: passer rating, touchdown passes (or throwing for at least 25 touchdowns), passing yards, completion percentage or yards per pass attempt. The $2.25 million annually tied to how Brady performs remains intact. If Tampa Bay wins the Super Bowl and Brady is on the field for 75% or more of the offensive plays during the game, he gets the entire $2.25 million. There's another $500,000 for being NFC champions where Brady takes at least three-fourths of the offensive snaps in the game. It becomes $1.25 million instead for winning a divisional round game and the same playtime requirement for that contest. The amount increases by $250,000 to $750,000 for winning a wild-card playoff game where Brady plays a minimum of 75% of Tampa Bay's offensive snaps or earning a first-round playoff bye. With the requisite offensive playtime, Brady gets $500,000 for the Buccaneers making the playoffs. The $2.25 million of incentives based on Tampa Bay's success and Brady participating in least 75% of Tampa Bay's offensive plays (which he has) added a requirement of improving over the team's NFL ranking in average net yards gained per rushing play. Tom Brady's one-year contract extension running through the 2022 season tweaked the $4.5 million of annual incentives in his contract. Incentives are typically paid in February or March following the season in which they are earned. If earned, a team will incur a salary cap charge for most incentives after the playoffs end. Coupling an individual achievement with a team statistical performance also makes an incentive NLTBE. The most frequent categories for individual achievement are playtime or based on the player's primary function (i.e. Generally, any incentives with higher thresholds than the player or team's statistical performance in the prior season qualify as NLTBE. ![]() Incentives are usually designed to be classified as not likely to be earned (NLTBE), so that they will not count against the salary cap when a deal is signed. Incentives are also a way for a player taking a pay cut to make back some or all of the money he is losing through the salary reduction. Both types of bonuses can be used to bridge the financial gap when there is a disagreement in a negotiation between a player's agent and the team on the player's value. Performance bonuses can be divided into two basic categories: incentives and salary escalators. But since the contest wasn't affecting Tampa Bay's playoff seeding, quarterback Tom Brady made sure Brown had his most productive game since joining the Buccaneers at midseason to reach 45 catches for $250,000. Going into the 2020 regular season finale, it didn't seem like Antonio Brown had a chance at earning any of the $750,000 of incentives based on his individual statistical achievements. ![]()
