Under the Performance-Based Pay program, a fund is created and used as a supplemental form of player compensation based on a comparison of playing time to salary. Players become eligible to receive a bonus distribution in any regular season in which they play at least one official down.
Basically, players with higher playtime percentages and lower salaries benefit most from the pool.
Purdy threw for a franchise-record 4,280 passing yards in his second NFL season while adding 31 touchdowns compared to 11 interceptions. His 113.0 passer rating led the NFL.
