One other incentive for Knight to sign and fully participate in preseason is the NFL performance-based compensation. If he starts and does well, he could be in for a significant extra income from that source. Look at the Jets linebacker Jamien Sherwood. He just received a distribution of over 1 million from the league's performance-based pay program and more than doubled his salary. Cordall Volson always seems to get a high amount each year -- around $900,000 extra for the 2024 season.
