New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has made quite a bit of money in his NFL career.
He’s probably never earned this little in one shot, though.
The NFL awards performance-based pay to players based on their playing time and performance compared to their base salary. It’s primarily a way for low-paid players to earn significantly more than their salaries. This pay does not count against the salary cap.
Hilariously, Rodgers earned $81.14 in performance-based pay for his four snaps in 2023, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It was the lowest amount the NFL doled out to any player.
