Fred Warner, Jason Verrett, three other 49ers receive performance-based bonuses
Five San Francisco 49ers players earned performance-based bonuses, per a report from NBC Sports Bay Area. They include linebackers
Fred Warner and
Dre Greenlaw, and defensive backs
Jason Verrett and
Tarvarius Moore. One offensive lineman,
Daniel Brunskill, also earned the additional pay.
Matt Maiocco has the breakdown of how much each earned via the performance-based bonuses.
The performance-based pay program is a collectively-bargained benefit that compensates all players, including rookies, based upon their playing time and salary levels. The money comes from a fund created and used as a supplemental form of player compensation.
Players become eligible for the additional payout in any regular season in which they play at least one official snap. Those with lower salaries who vastly outperformed their pay benefit most from the pool.
Brunskill was an exclusive-rights free agent heading into the offseason, while Verrett was an unrestricted free agent. San Francisco re-signed both players to one-year deals.

Rapoport discusses injuries to 49ers defenders Nick Bosa, Fred Warner
The San Francisco 49ers finished Sunday's game without two of their best defenders. Pass rusher Nick Bosa left the game at the end of the first half and was ruled out with a concussion. Linebacker Fred Warner exited the second half and did not return due to an ankle injury.
"On Nick Bosa's concussion, my information is that I cannot speculate on a concussion," NFL insider Ian Rapoport said Monday morning on KNBR's Murph & Mac show. "And it's not just me. It's impossible. Teammates sounded like he was talking in the locker room and OK, but that doesn't actually mean anything because everyone recovers from concussions differently, and you can't tough it out."
