Aaron Rodgers, Deebo Samuel, More NFL Contract Incentives At Stake in Week 18

Aaron Rodgers, Deebo Samuel and a handful of other NFL players have contract incentives on the line in Week 18.

For some players, the goal is to reach a certain number in a stat category to trigger those incentives.

Others have incentive clauses in their contracts for postseason berths, like Rodgers has if the Pittsburgh Steelers capture the AFC North title.

Aaron Rodgers' incentives are linked directly to the Pittsburgh Steelers' success.

Rodgers gets a $500,000 bonus if the Steelers clinch a playoff spot on Sunday night with a win over the Baltimore Ravens.

The veteran quarterback also has a clause in his contract that allows him to make more with every playoff victory the Steelers earn.

If Pittsburgh beats Baltimore, the Steelers would earn a home game in the wild-card round against one of the Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers or Buffalo Bills.

Deebo Samuel needs 10 catches and 93 receiving yards to trigger more bonuses in his contract with the Washington Commanders.

Samuel receives a bonus for reaching 80 receptions and 800 receiving yards. He has 70 catches and 707 yards on the season.

Washington is taking on a Philadelphia Eagles team that will rest some of its starters, so there is a chance for Samuel to go off on Sunday.

Samuel needs to reach a season high in receptions to trigger that bonus. His current high is eight catches.

The former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver has only had one game over 90 yards this season.

Tony Pollard

Tony Pollard must run for 66 yards to earn an extra $250,000.

The Tennessee Titans running back needs that total to reach the 1,100-yard mark on the ground.

Pollard had a 60-yard performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this season, so there is hope he can break loose for a few more yards against the AFC South leader in Week 18.

Pollard's been in excellent form of late with three 100-yard performances and another game with 85 yards. He's averaged over 4.5 yards per carry in each of the last four games.
