Ryan Wendell gets $179K bonus

Through the NFL's "performance-based pay" system, which rewards players who get lots of playing time but have low cap numbers.

It's not even close to the top 10; FWIW, the top number went to Vontaze Burflict of the Bengals, who got almost $300K since he was an UDFA.

He deserves it, he played well at center for us this year, and last year when we had the revolving door at C. Preferably though, I'd like to have him as a backup C/G, by either signing a vet RG or a vet RT (with Cannon winning the RG spot), and letting Connolly start at C where he is most effective IMO.

I wonder if Connolly is even a better C than Wendell at this point.

It's a good question. I guess my post was a long winded way of saying, "I think we can upgrade at RG." Who ends up at center as a result is unrelated I suppose.

It's his spot unless he gets injured or if somehow the Patriots get outbid when his contract is up. The man really stepped up this year.

Really impressive job I'd consider as a top 10 center in the NFL.
