Yesterday, Hogs Haven posted an article that detailed the payments for Performance-Based Pay for 2020. This is a sort of “bonus” scheme that is detailed in the CBA; this year, it allocated $8.2m per team to be paid out to players on the roster based on percentage of playing time. As mentioned in the article, “ In general, players with higher playtime percentages and lower salaries benefit most from the pools.”
The upshot of that is that late round draft picks and undrafted free agents who play a lot get paid a lot. So do veteran players on low-priced contracts.
