It took a little longer than expected, but Antonio Brown has finally re-signed with the Buccaneers. Now, courtesy of ESPN.com’s Field Yates (Twitter link) we have the details on the deal. 
As previously reported, Brown can make up to $6.25MM in 2021. He received a $2MM signing bonus plus $1.1MM in base salary, which effectively guarantees $3.1MM. Beyond that, he can make a total of $900K in per-game bonuses, plus incentives.
Brown can collect an additional $334K for each of the following plateaus: 50 catches, 70 catches, 600 receiving yards, 800 receiving yards, five touchdowns, and seven touchdowns. Plus, if he reaches 45% playing time and is active for a (second) Super Bowl victory, he’ll see another $250K.
Often times, NFL incentives are hard to reach. Sometimes, they’re formally designated as such (NLTBE — Not Likely To Be Earned). In this case, it’s not hard to imagine AB maxing out his contract. In eight regular season games last year, Brown notched 45 catches for 483 yards and four touchdowns. Extrapolated for a full 16-game slate, that’s 90 catches, 966 yards, and eight touchdowns. If Brown can do that in 2021, he’ll hit every milestone and then some.
“Often times, NFL incentives are hard to reach. Sometimes, they’re formally designated as such (NLTBE — Not Likely To Be Earned).”
Some of the bonuses AB is unlikely to earn include:
Don’t Randomly Beat Up Moving Van Driver Bonus -$25K
Don’t Pull It Out Behind Her On A Couch Bonus- $50K
Don’t Drive 125 MPH By The Mall Bonus- $10K
Don’t Toss Furniture From High Rise Onto Children Bonus- $20K
Don’t call your white coach a “cracker” bonus – $20 (it’s not a big bonus bc he’s likely going to do that one multiple times)
Zach has gotten his money’s worth out of the Brown signing. Is this about the fourth or fifth article he has posted on it?
Now, now. Everyone deserves a 13th chance…
