The New England Patriots didn't have any players in the top 25 of performance-based pay earners in 2024, but they did have several players make off well last season.
Surprisingly, offensive tackle Demontrey Jacobs led the pack with $737,221.61 in earnings last season, via Boston Herald's Doug Kyed. The performance-based pay scale compensates players based on playing time and salary.
Jacobs went from being a depth piece to a consistent starter when he was claimed off waivers by the Patriots last August. He appeared in 15 games and started in 13 for the tackle-needy Patriots.
