Some guy in a certain movie once said: “Show me the money”. Is that really Taylor Heinicke?
Washington is on a 4-match winning streak. It beat the Buccaneers, Panthers, Seahawks and Raiders in an attempt to secure an NFC knockout spot in a disappointing season.
As a starting midfield, however, Heinicke has no reason to be sad about how far in 2021: He’s made 18 touchdowns to 11 interceptions at the start and has hit rate. block 7: 2 throughout the winning streak. And success is helping him financially in a pretty big way.
AFFECT: Heinicke is worth watching in Week 14
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Heinicke’s contract includes a small bonus mechanism: For every Washington win Heinicke starts and plays 60% of the matches, he earns $125,000 in prize money. That way, Heinicke earned himself half a million dollars over the course of the season.
Washington’s all-win streak bodes well for the team’s playoff hopes and QB Taylor Heinicke’s wallet: for every win where he plays at least 60% of snaps, he earns a $125K incentive. This winning steak earned him $500k.

THAN: NFL playoff pictures enter Week 13 – where does Washington stand?
In total, Heinicke made an additional $750,000 starting for Washington, in a season where he wasn’t expected to get the starting shots. Heinicke took over after Ryan Fitzpatrick sustained a hip injury in Week 1.
While the incentives don’t exactly start at quarterback burgers, they’re enough to make Heinicke cheese: Heinicke signed a two-year, $4.75 million deal with Washington in the last season. The deal includes $1.5 million in guarantees, which are mild. Winning will definitely help.
THAN: When will Washington choose a new team name?
The victories are certainly huge for the team’s playoff hopes. The bottom of the NFC field expands, which means it still has a photo to make the jump.
Washington (6-6) is currently at 500 for the full season; However, Heinicke’s wallet exceeds that mark.
