Atlanta Falcons defensive end Adrian Clayborn will most likely see a major payday after recording six sacks against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
ESPN’s Field Yates reported since Clayborn totaled eight sacks on the season after Sunday’s win, he activated a $750,000 incentive bonus if he finishes the season on the 53-man roster.
Two more sacks this season would earn Clayborn $1.25 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Update: by reaching 8.0 sacks this season, Falcons DE Adrian Clayborn has triggered a $750,000 incentive bonus if he finishes the season on the 53-man roster. https://t.co/yibqZQyHqL
