NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement

Article 28
Performance-Based Pool

Section 2
Amount of Fund

For the 2020 League Year, the fund shall be $8.5 million per Club. For the 2021 League Year, the fund shall be $10 million per Club. For each League Year after the 2021 League Year, the fund will be adjusted by the change in Projected AR, with a maximum change of 5%, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. If in the 2021 League Year the Performance-Based Pool (i.e., $10 million per Club) is reduced by up to $1.5 million per Club to fund the cost of the Additional Game Check for the 2021 League Year, as provided in Article 26, Section 1(c) of this Agreement, the 2022 Performance Based Pool shall be $10 million per Club adjusted by the change in Projected AR for the 2022 League Year, up to a maximum change of 5%, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The NFLPA has the unilateral right to reduce or freeze the amount of the Performance Based Pool. The amount of the fund shall be deemed inclusive of any Veteran Player performance-based compensation pool amounts. Therefore, this section supersedes Section 1 and Exhibit A of the parties’ side letter dated March 9, 2016 (“2016 Salary Cap and Related Issues”).
