Re: Several Saints players have roster bonuses tied to Sunday's game

Some Saints might have to pay for a day off.

New Orleans is likely to have a new cast of players serving as the inactives this week as the team looks to rest a handful of guys after locking up the NFC’s top seed for the playoffs last week.

But a few players could have to sacrifice a few dollars to stand on the sideline out of uniform against the Panthers. But, obviously, most of these guys would give up a little bit of money to get fresh for the playoffs.

The following players have incentives in their contracts that pay them a bonus for each game active, according to sources:

- Center Max Unger -- $46,875 per game

- Defensive end Alex Okafor -- $31,250

- Linebacker Manti Te’o -- $31,250

- Defensive end Cam Jordan -- $18,750

- Tight end Ben Watson -- $15,625

- Tight end Josh Hill -- $12,500

- Safety Chris Banjo -- $12,500

Jordan also could earn a sack bonus this week. He currently has 12 sacks. His next one would pay him a bonus of $250,000. He could earn another bonus of $500,000 at 15 sacks, and an additional $500,000 for 17 sacks.

Okafor can earn a bonus of $400,000 by reaching his fifth sack. He currently has four.

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

$400K for one more sack. That is some serious incentive.

And then there's a rookie who's never taken an NFL snap starting for Carolina...

Can I make $400K if I jump through security and sack the QB myself? The only problem I see is anticipating the snap count.

I hope they sit Unger.
Cam can get his sack first series and then change into street clothes and pocketing $269K

We do get to find out against an impressive front seven whether we have keepers in Will Clapp and Cameron Tom...
