Bengals Bonuses: Four Players Earn Performance Payouts
23 Jan
Summary
- Four Bengals players to receive significant performance bonuses.
- Chase Brown and DJ Turner each get a $3.6 million raise.
- Battle and Iosivas qualified for bonuses through snap percentage.
Despite the Cincinnati Bengals missing the playoffs for a third consecutive season, four players are celebrating significant financial gains due to their exceptional 2026 performance.
Running back Chase Brown and cornerback DJ Turner are each set to receive a $3.6 million raise. Brown surpassed 1,000 rushing yards and added over 400 receiving yards, while Turner was a top-graded cornerback in coverage.
Safety Jordan Battle and wide receiver Andrei Iosivas qualified for Level-One Proven Performance Escalators. This bonus is awarded based on draft round and snap percentage, with both players exceeding the required 35% of snaps played through their first three contract years. Battle started every game in 2025, and Iosivas played roughly 70% of offensive snaps.
All four players are entering contract years, making these bonuses particularly impactful as the Bengals consider their future roster. Keeping this emerging talent may prove challenging if their development continues.
