According to NFL Communication: “Under the Performance-Based Pay program, a fund is created and used as a supplemental form of player compensation based upon a comparison of playing time to salary. Players become eligible to receive a bonus distribution in any regular season in which they play at least one official down. In general, players with higher playtime percentages and lower salaries benefit most from the pool.”
Bredeson led the Giants with 1.014 snaps on offense (91.85%) while Pinnock played on 89.63 percent of the defensive snaps.
