These NFL players earned MASSIVE bonuses in the final week of the regular season

Week 17 in the NFL is significant for two main reasons. On one hand, it helps determine the playoff picture once and for all. On the other, and on a more personal level to the players… it’s the last chance for many of them to earn that bonus from incentives in their contract.

And let us tell you, some BIG ones were hit this past Sunday.

Whether it was that extra reception, sack, or touchdown pass, a nice handful of players came away a lot richer after the weekend. Some of them (as you’re about to see) have already made millions while others (who haven’t exactly earned as much up to this point of their respective careers) were able to earn a huge chunk of cash. Just take a look at these!

You love to see it. The money is great and the way each player earned their bonuses is the cherry on top. Russell Wilson calling an audible to help David Moore (who signed a modest one-year, $825,000 contract with the Seahakws over the offseason) might be the best story of the bunch.

Russell Wilson confirmed to reporters that the pop pass to WR David Moore on 2nd to last play of the game was called so that Moore could get reach his $100K incentive.
