For the second year in a row, Pittsburgh Steelers OT Dan Moore Jr. has earned performance-based pay. After ranking in the top ten last season, Moore came in at No. 23 for the 2023 season with the amount that he earned.
Guard John Simpson of the Baltimore Ravens earned the highest amount of performance-based pay this season, totaling $974,613. Per the media release, this is how performance-based pay is calculated per the release by the NFL Player’s Association.
“Performance-Based Pay is computed by using a player index (“Index”). To calculate the Index, a player’s “PBP Playtime” (defined as the player’s regular season total plays played on offense, defense and special teams, divided by the number of plays in which the player with the most total combined plays participated on that team) is divided by his “PBP Compensation” (defined as each player’s regular season full salary, including his prorated portion of signing bonus, and earned incentives).
