Matt Paradis earns NFL's largest performance-based bonus in 2015

Great job Matt! I am from Boise and lucky enough to know him. From 8 man high school football, to a walk on stalwart at BSU and now a Super Bowl champion!

Great kid and a very hard worker. I look forward to seeing him continue to develop in '16.

Brandon Marahall got $250,000. That's great for as little as he made this year.

Schoefield got $207,000. He really should donate that to charity!

Seems playing time had a lot more to do with a performance bonus than actual performance if Schofield is making that much. I will say I am happy for Paradis though. This guy has taken the hard road to get where he is. Played 8-man football in high school. Now for those from the big city you probably don't realize how little attention 8-man teams get on the national level. Very few have any scouts come look at them. So then to go to Boise actually as a defensive player and then switch to the OL his Redshirt Freshman year and slowly build up to full time starter. Then to get drafted and spend his first year on the practice squad to then get promoted to starter and be the only player on offense or defense to play every single snap of the season is just impressive. Long way of saying very proud of this kid and excited to see his career here in Denver.

Also just a quick note...

Trevor Siemian actually got a performance based bonus of $328 for his one snap he took this year.

The Broncos could have had me for $1.
