Green Bay Packers offensive linemen Jon Runyan Jr. and Josh Myers both finished among the NFL’s top 25 in performance-based pay distributions for the 2022 season.
From the NFL: “Performance-Based Pay program is a collectively bargained benefit that compensates all players based upon their playing time and salary levels.”
In other words, the NFL uses an equation relating playing time and salary to benefit players who play a lot of snaps in a season but make lower salaries. In total, the fund will pay $336 million to NFL players from the 2022 season.
