Ted Karras leads Patriots’ performance-based pay

Center Ted Karras was among three New England Patriots to earn an extra chunk of change for their services in 2019.

The NFL has had a performance-based pay program since 2002 that rewards players who have low salaries, but play high snap counts. The NFL’s top 25 earners from this pool were announced on Thursday.

Karras led the Patriots on the list at No. 2, cornerback J.C. Jackson landed at No. 9 and tackle Marshall Newhouse landed at No. 22. The NFL’s highest earner on the list was Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Charvarius Ward.

Karras is set for a big payday in free agency this offseason after an outstanding outing in 2019. Newhouse will hit free agency this offseason, while Jackson is under contract for another year with the Patriots.
