Report: Darrelle Revis Could Make Up To $13.5 Million In 2018 If Chiefs Win Super Bowl This Season
If the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl this season, Darrelle Revis could make up to $13.5 million next season, Field Yates of ESPN.com reports.
Revis, who signed a two-year deal with the Chiefs last week, has a long list of potential bonuses that he can earn for next season based on the team's postseason success and whether or not he can stay on the roster, according to Yates.
If the Chiefs win the AFC Championship Game and Revis plays in at least 50% of the snaps, Revis would earn an extra $1.75 million for next season, according to Yates. And if he did not play in at least half the snaps, but the Chiefs still won the AFC Championship, Revis could make $3.5 million by playing in at least 50% of the snaps in a Chiefs Super Bowl victory, according to Yates. He adds that the most Revis can make based off the Chiefs postseason success is $3.5 million.
In addition to the bonuses Revis could make off the playoffs, he also has the chance to bring in almost $9 million through bonuses based on being on the roster next season, according to Yates. Revis will earn $550,000 each game he is on Kansas City's roster, injured reserve or the physically unable to perform list in 2018 and his $1.015 million base salary becomes guaranteed if he is on the roster for the fifth day of the 2018 league year, according to Yates. There is also an additional $185,000 Revis can earn in workout bonuses, according to Yates. In total, Revis could make $10 million next season if he is on the Chiefs roster, with $1.015 million coming in base salary, $8.8 million from the weekly roster bonus and $185,000 through the workout bonus.
