Broncos QB Drew Lock Nets $228k Performance-Based 2020 Bonus
The NFL Players Association on Tuesday announced its 2020 performance-based bonuses, $8.5 million of which was allocated to the Denver Broncos.
These bonuses are calculated for and awarded to players who outperformed their respective contracts relative to playing time.
Some made out better than others; inside linebacker Alexander Johnson, who logged 96.2% of Denver's defensive snaps, banked a team-high $539,136 while offensive tackle Quinn Bailey (0.2%) earned a pittance — $949.
Among the more fortuitous recipients is starting quarterback Drew Lock, who netted $228,105 after taking 70.7% of offensive snaps. Lock threw for 2,933 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions across 13 games, missing time due to a right (throwing) shoulder injury.
The No. 42 overall pick of the 2019 draft, Lock, 24, collected $813,674 in base salary over his sophomore campaign, counting roughly $1.59 million against the cap.
