Back in April of 2017, the New England Patriots signed running back James White to a three-year extension valued at $12 million, with an additional $1 million available every year if he could reach certain performance incentives.
White was set to earn an additional $250,000 if could reach the following milestones: 1) 50% of offensive snaps; 2) 60% of offensive snaps; 3) 1,000 total yards; and 4) 1,200 total yards.
White did not have these same incentives last year, which represented the last season of his rookie contract, but he came up short in every category with 600 yards from scrimmage and 39.
