Falcons LB Nate Landman earned $750K in performance-based pay

When Falcons linebacker Troy Andersen went down with an injury during Week 3 of the 2023 NFL season, it opened the door for former undrafted free agent Nate Landman to showcase his talents.

Landman started the final 14 games and became a consistent force on Atlanta’s front seven. He finished the season with 110 combined tackles, three forced fumbles, two sacks and an interception.

The 25-year-old earned himself some extra cash based on his 2023 performance. Landman received an extra $753,273 in performance-based pay, ESPN’s Michael Rothstein reported.

Landman ranked 21st in the NFL in performance-based last season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The exclusive-rights free agent was wisely re-signed by the Falcons early in the offseason.
