As contract clauses go, this one is pretty painful: Packers guard Sean Rhyan missed out on $2m after falling two snaps shy of picking up a bonus. The NFL has a built-in bonus pool designed to reward late draftees who see the field early in their careers. One of those performance benchmarks is a player’s volume of snaps. If they cross the 35% mark, they receive a chunky bonus. But Rhyan fell two snaps shy of that mark last season, missing the chance to see his base salary more than double.

No team attacked a roster weakness as aggressively as the Cardinals this offseason. Arizona poured cash and draft picks into upgrading its defensive line, spending big on Josh Sweat in free agency, adding veterans Calais Campbell and Dalvin Tomlinson along the interior, drafting Walter Nolan in the first round and scooping up Jordan Burch in the third. It’s a tasty haul. Sweat brings one-on-one pass-rush know-how. Campbell and Tomlinson add a veteran presence to a youthful locker room.
