Commanders quarterback earned an unusual bonus for one play in 2024

Washington Commanders quarterback Jeff Driskel had a pretty good gig in 2024. The 31-year-old journeyman was Washington's No. 3 quarterback behind rookie superstar Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota.

Driskel did appear in one game in 2024, in Week 2 against the New York Giants. He played one snap when doctors checked out Daniels, but did not record a statistic. Driskel came in, handed the ball off, departed, and was never seen on the field again last season.

The NFL announced 2024 performance bonuses recently, and only one Commander was on the list: Driskel.

Per Ben Baby of ESPN, Driskel earned $981.
