Rookie safety Vonn Bell's immense playing time as a rookie won't go unrewarded.
The NFL provided nearly $4 million to each team to disperse among players for 2016 performance-based pay, and Bell was the top earner for the New Orleans Saints, receiving a bonus of $243,219.28.
Along with Bell, rookie cornerback Ken Crawley, cornerback Sterling Moore and wide receiver Willie Snead each received in excess of $200,000 for playing more than their contract would suggest.
