Here is a look at the incentives and escalators various Vikings can earn with their performance in the season’s final month:
–If Stefon Diggs, who has 79 catches for 790 yards this season, eclipses 100 catches or 1,375 yards this season, he can add $666,666 to his 2021 base salary, $750K to his 2022 base and $800K to his 2023 base by triggering an escalator clause in his contract.
–Danielle Hunter, who has 11.5 sacks now, can make an extra $500K in 2019 if he gets to 13 sacks, and an extra $1 million with 15 sacks. He has the same escalator clause each year of his deal.
–Defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, who has 3 1/2 sacks this season, can earn a $666,667 bonus if he reaches six sacks. He’d get $1,333,333 for eight sacks, and $2 million for 10 sacks. He’d also receive $500,000 for a Pro Bowl selection, and $1 million if he is picked as a first-team All-Pro (though his contract states he can only be paid for either the Pro Bowl or the All-Pro bonus, not both).
–Tight end Kyle Rudolph, who has 43 catches this year, can boost his 2019 salary with a big finish to the year. He’d trigger a $750,000 salary escalator clause with 80 catches, and a $500,000 escalator with a Pro Bowl selection — on top of the $375,000 escalator clauses he triggered for both 2018 and 2019 by catching 83 passes in 2016.
–Punt returner Marcus Sherels, who is currently eighth in the league with a 9.2 yard return average, can make an extra $200,000 if he finishes in the top three. He’d also earn another $200,000 for a Pro Bowl selection.
–Defensive tackle Tom Johnson, who has $500,000 in not-likely-to-be-earned incentives with the Vikings, had incentives in his deal with the Seahawks that paid him $200,000 for three sacks, $350,000 for five sacks and $500,000 for seven sacks. It’s unclear if the incentive structure is exactly the same in Minnesota, but Johnson, who has 3 1/2 sacks this season, could be on the way to a pay bump of some kind if he keeps producing.
–Running back Latavius Murray, who has 455 yards through 11 games, figures to fall short of a $1 million incentive he could earn by rushing for 1,200 yards this season.
–Left tackle Riley Reiff would receive a $300,000 salary escalator if he is named to the Pro Bowl team in December. Right guard Mike Remmers can make an additional $250,000 for a Pro Bowl selection.
–Guard Tom Compton, who’s making $850,000 this season, could be on track to boost his compensation through a playing-time bonus at the end of the season. Compton would earn an extra $100,000 if he’s on the field for 35 percent or more of the Vikings’ offensive plays, $150,000 if he plays 50 percent of the time and $250,000 if he plays 65 percent of the offensive snaps.
