Overview
- Wentz earned a $100,000 bonus after playing at least 60% of snaps in Minnesota’s Week 1 comeback win over Green Bay on Monday.
- He entered after Kyler Murray left with a concussion and finished 12-of-19 for 133 yards and three touchdown passes with no interceptions.
- Wentz’s one-year, $3 million deal includes incentives that pay $100,000 per qualifying win for the first six wins and $150,000 per win for the next six.
- Murray’s concussion leaves his Week 2 status uncertain, creating a near-term chance for Wentz to start again and trigger more six-figure payouts.
- This outcome illustrates a common veteran-backup contract design where snap-share thresholds and team wins convert short-term playing opportunities into material bonus pay and affect roster decisions.
