Language from the 2020 CBA (pp. 114-15): (c) Incentives.
(i) Any and all incentive amounts, including but not limited to performance bonuses, shall be included in Team Salary if they are “likely to be earned” during such League Year based upon the player’s and/or Team’s performance during the prior year. In the case of a Veteran who did not play during the prior season, in the event that the NFL and the NFLPA cannot agree as to whether such performance bonus is “likely to be earned,” such disputes shall be referred to the Impartial Arbitrator. Any incentive in year one of a Rookie Contract (as described in Article 7, Section 6) shall be deemed “likely to be earned.” Any incentive within the sole control of the player (e.g., non-guaranteed reporting bonuses, offseason workout and weight bonuses) shall be deemed “likely to be earned.” (ii) At the end of a season, if performance bonuses actually earned resulted in a Team’s paying Salary in excess of the Salary Cap, then the amount by which the Team exceeded the Salary Cap as a result of such actually paid performance bonuses shall be charged to the Team’s Team Salary for the next League Year (i.e., reducing the Club’s Room in the next League Year). For the purposes of this Subsection, the Team’s Room at the end of the season shall reflect any charge to its Team Salary in the current League Year resulting from its election to Carry Over Room to the next League Year pursuant to Article 13, Section 6(b)(v). (iii) At the end of a season, if performance bonuses previously included in a Team’s Team Salary but not actually earned exceed performance bonuses actually earned but not previously included in Team Salary, an amount shall be credited to the Team’s Team Salary for the next League Year equaling the amount, if any, by which such overage exceeds the Team’s Room under the Salary Cap at the end of a season (i.e., increasing the Club’s Room in the next League Year). For the purposes of this Subsection, the Team’s Room at the end of the season shall reflect any charge to its Team Salary in the current League Year resulting from its election to Carry Over Room to the next League Year pursuant to Article 13, Section 6(b)(v). (For example, and without limitation, if a Club carries over 100% of its Room pursuant to Article 13, Section 6(b)(v), then for purposes of this Subsection the Club’s Room under the Salary Cap at the end of the season shall be zero and the entire amount by which performance bonuses previously included in Team Salary but not actually earned exceed performance bonuses actually earned but not included in Team Salary shall be credited to the Club’s Team Salary for the next League Year (i.e., increasing the Club’s Room in the next League Year, in addition to any Room Carry Over pursuant to Article 13, Section 6(b)(v)). (iv) Any team performance will be automatically deemed to be “Likely to be earned” if the Team met or exceeded the specified performance during the prior League Year, and will be automatically deemed to be “not likely to be earned” if the Team did not meet the specified performance during the prior League Year. (v) Any incentive bonus that depends on team performance in any category not identified in Exhibit A hereto is prohibited. (vi) Any incentive bonus that depends on a player’s individual performance in any category not identified in Exhibit B hereto is prohibited. (vii) Any incentive bonus that depends on a player’s individual performance in categories other than those used to assess performance at the player’s primary position is prohibited. (viii) Any incentive bonus based on a player receiving Honors or Media Recognition not listed in Exhibit C hereto is prohibited. (ix) Any incentive bonus for special teams playtime is prohibited unless the player participated in at least 50% of the Club’s special teams plays in the immediately prior regular season. (x) Any player whose primary position is on offense cannot have an incentive bonus that depends on team performance on defense (or special teams), unless such player played in 15% or more of the Club’s defensive (or special teams) in the prior season (pro rating participation in the event of games missed due to injury). Any player whose primary position is on defense cannot have an incentive bonus that depends on team performance on offense (or special teams), unless such player played in 15% or more of the Club’s offensive (or special teams) plays in the prior season (pro rating participation in the event of games missed due to injury). (xi) Official National Football League statistics as provided by the NFL shall be utilized in determining whether a player has earned any incentive described in Exhibit A or B. All such statistics are final and their validity is not subject to challenge. Copies of such statistics, and the methodology upon which they are calculated shall be provided to the NFLPA promptly after receipt. If the NFL discontinues using an outside entity to provide official NFL statistics, the parties shall revisit this issue. nflpaweb.blob.core.windows.net/media/Default/NFLPA/CBA2020/NFL-NFLPA_CBA_March_5_2020.pdf |

Pointing out the obvious for Freak.....and you are correct, I believe any bonus money earned hits the following season's cap. 2023 Incentives ($1.75M max) $1M for yards from scrimmage (1,125 - 1,639, 75% LTBE) $600,000 for touchdowns (10-16, LTBE) $150,000 for Pro Bowl berth Where did I already see this post before ?

No linky - not that anyone would think you pulled the numbers out of an orifice where the sun don’t shine. 😉 🤷♂️ |

The interesting thing that I think I saw in Joe's tl;dr post, is that it goes in this year's cap... unless it doesn't fit, then it goes in next year's.
Brilliant, Ed!
