Detailing some of Julian Edelman's incentives for 2019 taken at BSJ Headquarters (Patriots)

(John Tlumacki/The Boston Globe)

It now appears Julian Edelman has two separate incentive clauses in his current deal.



There is an annual year-end reconciliation of incentives, which caused some of Edelman's incentives to be classified as LTBE (Likely to Be Earned). That caused a change in his cap number, which was confirmed by a league source. Here are the details:

He has a $500,000 incentive which can be earned in one of the four ways:


  • 1,057 receiving yards

  • 70 receptions plus seven TDs

  • 80 receptions plus Super Bowl appearance

  • 80 catches AND 13 wins












  • $500,000 for sixty receptions

  • Another $500,000 for seventy receptions ($1,000,000 total)

  • Another $500,000 for eighty receptions ($1,500,000 total)

  • Another $500,000 for ninety receptions ($2,000,000 total)

  • Another $500,000 for one hundred receptions ($2,500,000 total)
