NFL Incentives Calendar: 27 Players Due Roster Bonuses Including Dak Prescott, DeAndre Hopkins, Mike Evans & More

Roster bonuses play a pivotal role in the National Football League. A player gets this predetermined amount on a particular date, which is specified in their contracts. And for several of the NFL stars, that date is right around the corner. The need for a particular date for the roster bonuses works as a deadline for both parties.

However, the point to note remains that the roster bonus is given only if the particular player is on the active list of the team around the specified dates. In the broader sense, the bonuses also have an impact on the salary cap of the team. Find out which stars will be eligible for this payment shortly and how much they will receive.
