Hey. If you park your car in front of tinyE's house all weekend, he's got a right to do some frontin' and perpetratin'.

he deserves that + kendrell bell's salary

I think the "Performance Bonus" is an excellent idea by the NFL. It helps out the players that were late round or college free agents that have played well during the year. Scott Fujita got this bonus when he was a Chief.

OR, because I figured no one would miss you and I elected to consume all the food and alcohol before disposing of the body...

Whoops... there goes Larry Johnson's contract extension. Now we'll have to trade him to the Texans for Dexter McCleon and a 6th rounder...

Who actually gives him that bonus...the league, or the Chiefs?

And does it count against the cap?

And does it count against the cap?

Its given by the league. It also doesn't count against the salary cap, because the teams aren't paying it, and it's not a bonus or incentive that was agreed upon contractually.

Players become eligible to receive Performance Based Pay in any season during which they play at least one down of the regular season.

Under the system, Performance Based Pay is computed by using a "Player Index." To produce the index, a player's regular season playtime (total plays on offense, defense and special teams) is divided by his adjusted regular season compensation (full season salary, prorated portion of signing bonus, earned incentives). Each player's index is then compared to those of the other players on his team to determine the amount of his pay.

"The Performance Based Pay system is especially beneficial to lower-salaried players," says NFL Executive Vice President of Labor Relations Harold Henderson. "Under this system, if a player is making the minimum but plays in a high percentage of his team's plays, he stands to get a larger payout than a teammate with equal playtime but a higher salary."

One hypothetical example is "Player A" in 2006 earning a salary of $600,000, playing in 50 percent of his team's plays. His bonus would total approximately $60,000. "Player B" has a salary of $6 million and took part in a similar percentage of plays. His bonus would be approximately $6,000.

The Performance Based Pay system was created as part of the 2002 Collective Bargaining Agreement extension. This system creates a fund used as a supplemental form of player compensation based on a comparison of playing time to salary. The system will remain in place in the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, with fixed increases to the system fund each year.

This year, the fund totaled $96 million ($3 million per club), and will grow by five percent each year of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The fund will be $3.15 million per team in 2007 and $3.307 million per team in 2008.

Sorry, that was bad posting on my part. I saw questions from you and Slick32 on how this process works. I cut and pasted from parts of an NFL.com article and then saw that I did not give credit to the original source.
