Eagles guard Stefen Wisniewski had a $250,000 playing-time incentive in his contract for 2017. He failed to earn it. But the Eagles decided to give it to him, anyway.

Via Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, the Eagles gave Wisniewski a $250,000 signing bonus for 2018.

No other terms of his contract apparently changed. Signed through 2019, the cap consequence of the payment will be $125,000 in 2018, and $125,000 next year.

Wisniewski has a base salary of $2.5 million for 2018. He originally signed with the Eagles in 2016 after spending four years with the Raiders and one with the Jaguars.

  2. Class shown by Howie and Jeff. Wis earned it. Things like this will make the team a destination for players.

  6. The o-line played really well all season, but after Wentz went down, they really turned it up a notch. And in the playoffs, Wiz was a freakin’ bowling ball. It was awesome. Glad he got his bonus.

  11. The Patriots did the same with Lawrence Guy, giving him an unearned $500,000 for playing time when he fell slightly below the 55% playing time goal (per NESN).

  12. He is a better bargain than Luke Joeckel, a guard Seattle signed as free agent in 2017 for $8 million for 1 year, and Joeckel did not make Seattle’s notoriously bad O line any better.

  13. They should give Brady a bonus for choking away his 3rd SB loss. Don’t forget one for Matt Patricia for playing a Madden-style defense

    Its what champion teams do for their players. Currently that’s the Eagles.

  15. Whoever said he earned it, he didn’t. It clearly states he didn’t earn it. And no the city of Philadelphia didn’t magically become better because they won the super bowl. Let’s grow up everyone

    It’s amazing how much better a city behaves when folks stop throwing batteries at Santa and whatnot.

    As someone who grew up in the area but is not actually an Eagles fan, it pleases me to see all the thumbs down for this post. No one ever through batteries at Santa, and the incident where snowballs were thrown at Santa Occurred FIFTY years ago.

    Yes a few drunken idiots threw stuff at Vikings fans, sorry about that. But there were more people arrested in new England than Philadelphia after the Super Bowl, and there were zero incidents during the parade. I’m glad to see that most of the people agree that it’s time to put this lazy said narrative to bed.

  19. Cold day. It had snowed that weekend. Eagle team was losing and bad. Franklin field had wooden benches and snow everywhere except on the benches. Guy playing Santa was picked out of stands. One of us. Just a halftime entertainment. No malice intended. Most snowballs got no where near Mr. Santa. Everyone was laughing including Santa. Philadelphia news papers ran with it and now it’s part oh philly history.

    What was really “bad” was the time Jimmy Johnson had to be protected from snowballs at the Vet years later and no one brings that incident up.
