Performance pays. 💰
NFL players earned $542M+ in Performance-Based Pay for the 2025 season — a collectively bargained benefit negotiated by our union that rewards player members for the snaps they play and impact they make.
For the first time ever, the top 25 payouts all topped $1M, with CB Nahshon Wright leading the way at $1.44M — more than doubling his salary.
Since the program’s inception in 2002, nearly $3.3B has been paid to players.
