The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have built one of the top offenses in the NFL with Baker Mayfield at QB. But heading into 2025, the Bucs likely won't be without one of their top pass-catchers.

He would have received an extra $200,000 if he amassed 1,500 yards because the Broncos made the postseason.

Many players' contracts feature language that details contract bonuses associated with specific statistical plateaus. For example, Titans RB Tony Pollard can add $450,000 to his annual salary by rushing for 83 or more yards and two touchdowns Sunday. Buccaneers WR Mike Evans is five receptions and 85 yards away from $3 million.
