Chargers offensive lineman Jeromey Clary received a nice bonus from the NFL on Tuesday. Staff photo Jamie Scott Lytle Chargers offensive tackle Jeromey Clary's 2007 earnings nearly doubled on Tuesday as he was one of 17 NFL players awarded upwards of $250,000 through the league's "performance-based pay" system.
Clary, who started the final six games of the 2007 season, was awarded $253,015 through the complex system that measures every player in the league's playing time against his compensation.
The system is designed to reward lower-salaried players. Clary had a base salary of $285,000 last season and total compensation of $291,000.
Pittsburgh offensive tackle Willie Colon was the only player to receive more than $300,000 in additional pay. Colon was awarded $309,534.
