Geno Smith is back on the field and at the bank.
The Seattle Seahawks quarterback's resurgent season earned him his first career Pro Bowl nod in his first full-time campaign as a starter since 2014. It's also earned him some serious incentive payouts, with his latest milestone arriving in Sunday's win over the New York Jets.Per Spotrac
Smith's playing time is also adding up to a nice payday. He earns $250,000 each for playing time incentives at 55%, 65%, 75% and 85% of Seattle's offensive snaps. With one week remaining in the season, Smith's played every Seahawks snap thus far. He's a safe bet to cash in on an additional $1 million for his playing time.
With a win against the Rams and a loss by the Green Bay Packers in Week 18, the Seahawks would clinch the NFC's seventh and final playoff spot. But the 8-8 Packers hold the tiebreaker over Seattle and would clinch that spot with a win over the Detroit Lions.
