NFL Contract Incentives And Player Bonuses For 2023

NFL players are close to their contract incentives. Some players have already made enough in their careers. Many players push to reach them for their extra cash. This can affect your fantasy football championship game if one of your players is pushing for an incentive.

Incentives are common in NFL contracts. Some of the incentives in a contract can be smaller $100,000 bonuses, while others may exceed $2 million. Incentivies are not guaranteed, but can save a team money on contract space.

J.J Watt has 9.5 sacks this season. He has already earned $900,000 of his bonus. With double-digit sacks, he could earn a full one million. Arizona Cardinals have two games left against Atlanta and San Francisco.

Geno Smith is a player with a lot of incentives. Seattle Seahawks are on the outside looking in for the playoffs. They need to win their next two games against the Jets and the Rams. Smith has played all offensive snaps for Seattle and earned $1,000,00 for playing time. He is 114 yards away from the $500, 000 incentive bonus for 20 touchdown passes.

Christian Kirk signed a big contract with the Jaguars. He gets $500,000 for each catch threshold, and $1,200,00 for every receiving yard. Kirk is currently at 76 receptions for 988 yards. The next two games against the Texans and Titans could be good for Kirk's incentives.

Andy Dalton has played 68% of the offensive snaps for the Saints this season. He's earned one million dollars. The Saints are currently 6-9 and one game behind the NFC South-leading Buccaneers.
