With nine receptions in Denver, Hopkins would hit a $250,000 benchmark for 65 on the year. The same is true if he amasses 140 receiving yards, which would get him to 750 overall and earn another $250,000. Last, but certainly not least, Hopkins needs just one receiving touchdown to get to six this season and earn a whopping $500,000.

Yeah, remember some of those bonuses were stipulated when he was signed, which is part of the reason I haven’t been happy about his snaps. It’s like they purposefully prevented him from getting his $$$. I realize that’s probably not the case, it it does look that way based on how they restricted his usage.
