Vikings' Sullivan gets extra $397,555
Posted by: under Vikings, Bears, Vikings offense, John Sullivan Updated: March 13, 2010 - 1:04 PM
Vikings center John Sullivan tops the list of players receiving money from the NFL's performance-based pay system, according to a report on nationalfootballpost.com.
Reporter Brad Biggs, citing a source close to the pay system, wrote that Sullivan received an extra $397,555 for the 2009 season. The extra compensation is determined by a formula based on playing time vs. pay.
This isn't the first time a Viking has topped the list. Former Vikings satey Brian Russell led it once or twice.
Second on this year's list is Bears cornerback Zack Bowman ($355,355).
