Jacoby Brissett received a $285,000 payment during Week 8 despite being benched for the game, thanks to a specific clause in his contract.
The clause triggers a bonus when the quarterback is inactive but remains on the active roster, ensuring compensation even without playing time.
Brissett, who had started earlier in the season, did not take the field in the Week 8 matchup but still collected the sum as stipulated by the agreement.
