There’s extra incentive at the end of the fiscal year to hit that bonus, and for NFL players its the same but on a much bigger scale.
Players like Odell Beckham Jr. have an opportunity to make considerable incentives in Week 18, with the Ravens receiver able to make up to $1.25 million, although he is reportedly out for Week 18.
And he’s not the only one.
