There’s something nice about performance-based pay. A player performs well, he earns more money. Plus, he has the incentive to perform well. Green Bay Packers linebacker Ahmad Brooks has a lot of incentive.
The Packers signed Brooks to a one-year contract in early September that was reportedly worth $5 million. It’s actually pretty incentive heavy and COULD be worth up to $5 million.
Brooks has a base salary of $1 million. He got a signing bonus of $1.75 million and a roster bonus of $750,000. That puts his total current compensation at $3.5 million.
The incentives all lie within sack totals.
