The Packers kicker will earn $800,000 in bonuses if he finishes the season with a field goal percentage of at least 85.

I thought Mason would bounce back. I was not so sure he would do it while still in GB. He has been very god this year. Welcome back Mason.

Looks like Mason is going to be lining up for some 50+ yard field goals this week in the wind.

Cool little story for me because I never keep up with contracts or anything but that's a nice chunk of change right there. Good luck Crosby.

Nice to see it looking like he will have earned the money he was scheduled to get paid before the restructure, Would be nice to see more contracts done based on real incentives.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Coach: Mason, you wanna try for the record?
Mason: Nah coach, victory formation the last two downs would be great.
Coach: Hey Slocum, get Mason out there for a 67 yard field goal.

I could just picture the stink eye from Mason lol ... then Mason drills the damn thing down the middle while glaring at coach as he walks to the sideline ...

That's why he became a Chief.

All incentive money must count under the cap if it is earned. Certain types will count even if they are not earned.

In Crosby's case, if he stays above the 85% the Packers will incur and additional $800,000.00 cap hit next season on top of his regular salary and any other signing bonus type hit.

I think the bonuses he got for being on the active roster for week 5 and week 10 counted against this years salary cap but if not hey will go against next years cap as well.

Even if the Packers cut him they will have to count that money against the cap because it was an earned bonus.
