Commanders’ Trio Set to Shine and Cash In During Week 18!

Commanders’ Trio Set to Shine and Cash In During Week 18!

The Washington Commanders have already secured a postseason spot, but for a veteran trio, finishing strong in Week 18 comes with significant financial rewards. Motivated by securing the sixth seed and defeating division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, the team is staying focused and determined, with head coach Dan Quinn urging players to maintain high energy. Taking down the Cowboys—who are out of playoff contention—adds extra satisfaction to the win.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the regular season wraps up, NFL players are eyeing contract incentives, and three Commanders players are in the spotlight. Tight end Zach Ertz, fresh off a $750,000 bonus from his performance against the Atlanta Falcons, can earn up to $750,000 more with a dominant game against the Cowboys. If he catches nine passes, gains 90+ yards, or scores two touchdowns, he’ll hit his financial milestones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr., who has exceeded expectations this season, has a chance to earn an extra $375,000 with half a sack or more. This performance could also put him in line for a contract extension in the offseason. Defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr. is motivated by facing his former team, the Cowboys, and has the opportunity to earn an additional $250,000 with one more sack. With five sacks on the season, it’s uncertain if he can hit that target.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While the players’ bonuses are a key motivator, they are equally focused on team success and making a strong playoff run. The Commanders’ ultimate goal is team accomplishments, with individual rewards taking a backseat to the collective mission of postseason success.
