When Joe Flacco agreed to a one-year, $4 cardinal woody with nan Browns complete nan offseason, it was reported that his statement besides included $9 cardinal worthy of incentives.

So now that he's sewage nan starting domiciled again following a waste and acquisition to Cincinnati, let's return a look astatine really immoderate of those incentives break down, and really they could construe into a bully windfall.

Per ESPN's Dan Graziano, Flacco has a per-game inducement prize of $75,000 for each crippled successful which he plays astatine slightest 50% of nan team's violative snaps and nan Bengals win, though this will not footwear successful until nan 4th specified occurrence. As of this writing, he has won 1 crippled pinch nan Browns and 1 pinch nan Bengals.

But let's opportunity nan Bengals triumph six much games nether nan due conditions (i.e., Flacco plays astatine slightest 50% of snaps). In that case, nan seasoned backmost would gain an other $375,000, arsenic calculated by Graziano. And should nan squad triumph its remaining 10 games, pinch Flacco playing astatine slightest half of each contest, he would truthful gain an other $675,000.

Additionally, nan 40-year-old signal-caller's woody features up to $3 cardinal successful incentives relating to playing clip and success. Should he play betwixt 60% and 69.99% of nan team's violative snaps, he is poised for a $500,000 bonus. That payday increases to $1 cardinal if he plays betwixt 70% and 79.99% of snaps, past to $1.5 cardinal if he plays 80% aliases more. And should nan portion make nan playoffs (as nan Bengals are surely hoping), nan supra bonuses would double.

All successful all, location is acold much rate connected nan array than nan deal's headlining number mightiness suggest. And now that Flacco is QB1, pinch virtually nary title down him (it's difficult to ideate nan squad returning to Jake Browning, who did not play good erstwhile filling successful initially), it feels imaginable that a bully spot of it could beryllium his.
