DT Dexter Lawrence: Lawrence has been active for every game this season, so he’s on pace to earn his full $1 million in per-game roster bonuses ($58,823 per game active).
Lawrence had $3 million in playing time and performance incentives added to his contract this offseason. Lawrence could earn up to $1.5 million based on playing time: $500,000 for playing more than 51 percent of the defensive snaps; another $500,000 for playing more than 60 percent of the defensive snaps; and another $500,000 for playing more than 70 percent of the snaps. Lawrence is a lock to earn at least $1 million, as he has played 69.7 percent of the snaps. He can earn the final $500,000 if he plays slightly higher than his typical workload in the finale.

Credit to him for putting in the hours, coming in early. I think he’s gained a lot of respect and a lot of trust from not only the coaches but the players as well. He’s got to continue to do that. How can he continue to build on what (he’s) doing now because next year, next day, next week, next month, it’s going to be a different challenge. So, how do you continue to build off the success and...
