NFL players stand to gain significant bonuses: Jadeveon Clowney is a mere half sack away from securing $750k, while Joe Flacco has $250k riding on the playoffs.

Chasing Season-Ending Bonuses

With the NFL entering its final stretch of the regular season, players across teams find themselves pursuing more than just playoff berths.

For a handful of stars, the remaining two games hold the key to unlocking substantial bonuses promised by their respective teams.

Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Browns, inches closer to an extra $250,000 bonus tied to a Wild Card round win, with further incentives doubling for each subsequent round.

His potential extra earnings extend to $75,000 per regular season game win, adding an edge to their impending clash against the Bengals on January 7.

Individual Pursuits for Extra Earnings

Flacco isn’t the sole player with financial stakes in these final weeks.

Jadeveon Clowney, the edge rusher for the Baltimore Ravens, finds himself merely half a sack away from an additional $750,000 windfall.

Having secured 8.5 sacks this season, Clowney stands to boost his earnings to $1.75 million by achieving nine sacks.

Similarly, Buccaneers’ linebacker Lavonte David eyes a $2.5 million reward for defensive improvements, notably three more interceptions compared to the previous season.

His additional $200,000 hinges on maintaining a playing time above 65% and the team ranking within the top 10 in points allowed.

Targets for Additional Rewards

The pursuit of bonuses extends across various positions.

Joe Mixon, the running back for the Cincinnati Bengals, needs just one more touchdown to trigger a $250,000 bonus, while reaching 12 touchdowns amplifies the figure to $350,000.

Meanwhile, Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins stands to gain $1 million if he hits 1,050 receiving yards, having already crossed the $500,000 mark with impressive stats of 61 catches, 939 yards, and six touchdowns.

Triumphant Earners and Payouts

Not all players are chasing these bonuses; some have already met their targets and secured substantial earnings.

Raheem Mostert of the Dolphins has surpassed the 900 scrimmage yards mark, earning himself a cool $1 million.

In a similar vein, Vikings’ defensive end Danielle Hunter has earned $3 million by surpassing his goal of 14 sacks, boasting an impressive tally of 15.5.

Amidst the chase for extra earnings, a few have already sealed their financial victories.
