    Colts Joe Flacco could earn $3.1 million in incentives as a starter

    Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco is in line to receive a salary increase of up to $3.1 million if the team is successful with him in the starting lineup. Flacco was announced this week as the team’s starter for the remainder of the season in place of Anthony Richardson. Flacco’s base salary is $4.5 million, according to Spotrac, so the incentives could give him a salary increase of almost 70%.

    NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero shared Flacco’s incentives on X. Here’s how much more money Flacco can make as the Colts’ new starting quarterback:

    >> Flacco gets $100,000 for each game. He takes at least 50% of the snaps and the team wins. He has already earned $200,000 from this incentive for wins over Pittsburgh and Tennessee. Maximum bonus: $1.1 million.

    >> Flacco will get a bonus for his total playing time during the season if the Colts make the playoffs. It’s $250,000 at 30%, $500,000 at 40%, $750,000 at 50%, and $1,000,000 at 60%. He has already played 39.7% of the snaps, so he should have no problem hitting 60% when he starts the rest of the season. If the Colts make the playoffs… Maximum bonus: $1 million.

    >> Once the Colts are in the playoffs, Flacco will receive $250,000 for every game the team wins in which he takes 50% of the snaps. If the Colts win the Super Bowl without a No. 1 seed… Maximum bonus: $1 million.

    All of this assumes that Flacco does not skydive, glider, climb a mountain, participate in an auto race, ride a motorcycle, scuba dive, ski or participate in martial arts, boxing or wrestling, which is prohibited by the contract.

    What is a more realistic bonus? The Colts win six more games, make the playoffs and lose in the first round; that would bring the bonuses to a total of $1,800,000.
