Titans' Jayon Brown earned a fat bonus on his 2019 season pay

March 12, 2020 by Titans Wire Leave a Comment

Tennessee Titans inside linebacker Jayon Brown is going to be taking home some extra cash on top of his underwhelming 2019 salary.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Brown (No. 24) was ranked in the top 25 of combined earners in the NFL, which is based on money received from performance-based pay and the veteran pool.

So, on top of the $712,888 that Brown made in 2019, he’ll collect an additional $475,027 to bring his pay from last season up to a grand total of roughly $1.18 million.

While it’s nice to see Brown getting paid extra, it’s obvious he’s criminally underpaid for what he produces on the field; however this is the way it works with players who were drafted in the later rounds.

The former fifth-round pick was third on the team in tackles last season despite missing two games, and he is undoubtedly one of the best inside linebackers in the NFL, particularly in coverage.

Brown’s big payday will eventually come, with the 25-year-old having one year left on his rookie deal. It would be surprising if the Titans don’t give him a long-term extension before he hits free agency, though.
