Junior Galette became a very rich man when he signed a four-year, $41 million extension earlier this year.

But he could become even richer if he manages to record five sacks over the next three games.

Galette’s deal contains incentives that will pay him $6.5 million over the next several years if he manages to finish with 12 sacks this season. He’s currently stuck at seven with games against the Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers remaining.

According to a league source, if Galette hits the figure this season, he will earn a $2.5 million roster bonus in 2016 (the first year of his new deal) if he is on the roster on the third day of the league year. He will receive bonuses in 2017 ($1.3 million), 2018 ($1.3 million) and 2019 ($1.2 million) under the same conditions if he hits 12 sacks this season.

If Galette does not reach the sack figure, his 2017 base salary of $2 million only becomes guaranteed if he is on the roster the third day of that league year.

Of course, if he reaches 12 sacks, Galette still needs to be on the roster in those seasons to collect the bonus money.

So, with the season winding down, Galette should have plenty of motivation to get after the quarterback over the next three weeks.
