[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 949010, member: 7261"] They seem no more unpredictable then injuries, decreased or increased performances. Especially, when you spread them over the entire roster. Look at the Packer roster this season, look at what each player was paid and tell me if they earned it or didn't. I would say 2 examples of skewed pay each way, would be Bahk and Rasul Douglas. Incentive contract based pay would have cost Bahk millions, but for Rasul, it would have meant millions in his pocket. Of the 2 players, who was paid the amount that was commiserate to their performance in 2021? Neither. While your example of one player, costing the bonuses for others is convenient, it wouldn't be the only incentive a player is paid for. It is a team sport and incentives that require the whole team to play at a certain level are far from guaranteed. Individual incentives (games played, catches, TD's, yards, etc.) are a bit more on the player to earn. My bringing up incentive pay is more of my own personal pipe dream of what I wish would happen in the NFL. Sadly, it will never happen for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the abundance of money in the NFL. Owners only have to deal with the cap ramifications of salaries. I doubt whether player X makes $10 M/ year and player Y makes $3M is a big concern for the owners, but more of a "how do signing these guys effect our cap and our team play?" Second, due to that abundance of money and the onset and normalizing, of all these guaranteed contracts, its going to be hard for the NFLPA to ever want to agree to incentive based contracts becoming the norm.
