The NFL has announced the performance-based pay bonuses for the 2024 season, marking a significant financial boost for several Detroit Lions players. Safety Kerby Joseph led the Lions with nearly $1 million in bonuses, placing him in the league's top 10. The bonuses are designed to reward players with lower salaries based on their game participation. Notably, all Lions who played in the regular season received some bonus, with players like Brian Branch and Trevor Nowaske also earning substantial amounts. The calculation of these bonuses is based on a player index that factors in their playtime relative to their team’s most active players.
