Sometimes the best feeling can be finding an extra $20 in a pair of jeans you have not worn in a while.

The NFL's performance-based pay system has been around since 2002, when it was included in the ratification of the collective bargaining agreement, and it rewards players who have had high playing time but are making low base salaries.
This year, the league divvied up $8.55 million per team for veterans and rookies, and while the checks won't hit the players' accounts until 2024 at the earliest, it's still good to know there will be some money coming in.
