The NFL has officially announced performance-based pay distributions for the 2023 NFL season. For the Baltimore Ravens, it is CB Brandon Stephens who is reeling in some extra cash.
The league announced on Monday that NFL players are set to receive nearly $394 million in performance-based for the 2023 season. This comes from the league as a benefit collectively bargained between the NFL and NFLPA to compensate players based on their playing time and salary.
As a third-round pick out of SMU, Stephens is the No. 13 earner in the NFL with an extra $805,253 coming his way. The 2023 season was Stephens’ first season as a full-time starter where he started 16 games and recorded two interceptions.

Each player receives his share of the pool depending on how his Index compares to those of his teammates.
