Connor McGovern, a fifth-round guard out of Missouri, led all Broncos with a $445,424 performance bonus this year.
The NFL and players union distributed performance and playing time-based bonus payments Wednesday. The bonuses are based on a formula where a low player’s salary and higher amount of playing time equals the greatest bonus payments. Chris Harris Jr. and Matt Paradis once topped these lists as undrafted and sixth-round players, respectively, who never came off the field.
They made good money in 2018, though, so their performance bonuses shrunk considerably.
