New Jets guard John Simpson saw biggest performance-based pay for 2023

New Jets guard John Simpson earned himself some extra cash based on his performance in the 2023 season with the Baltimore Ravens.

The NFL announced the dollar figures from their performance-based pay program that gives players money based on their performance and salary levels each season. Simpson led all players by earning an extra $974,613 for 2023.

The performance-based pay takes into account a player’s total percentage of plays and his salary compared to other players on his team. In other words, it helps those who get paid less than others on their team while playing quite often for their team.

Jets safety Tony Adams also received $777,965 as a result of the performance-based pay.
