No Performance-Based Pay For NFL Players This Year

Posted By: Sweets 02-18-2012 , 12:18 PM

From 2002 through the 2009 season, the NFL had a system in which players who had big seasons on little salaries would be somewhat compensated in the form of performance-based pay. Last year, following the uncapped season, such players didn't get those checks, this year, they won't get them either. Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger reports per NFL Players Association spokesman Carl Francis, there will be no performance-based pay pursuant to the 2011 season, meaning players such as the Giants' Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks will miss out on a few hundred thousand bucks. Francis wrote in an email that money has been allocated elsewhere to overall salaries and benefits following the lockout and the agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement. One example of where such money has been redirected was the $3-million salary-cap exemption teams received to keep veterans this past season, this season, teams will have three $1.5-million exemptions and according to Francis, performance-based pay is a part of the new CBA and will be paid out in the future, though the league and the union are "still negotiating the language."

Most of those are probably standard contracts...guys like Cruz are happy to have one at the stage where he was. It's his job to make the best of it and cash in on the next one. If he's trying to bargain as the player he was before he signed a deal, he would never get one...
