Commanders star Zach Ertz banks huge $750k windfall in crucial win over Falcons

Zach Ertz may have had the best regular-season game of his lengthy NFL career, that is, if the Washington Commanders тιԍнт end cares the most about how he lines his pockets. 

Ertz earned $750,000 in bonuses from the victory over the Atlanta Falcons alone. 

Three different quarter-of-a-million contract incentives cashed during the five periods of action, with one coming on the final play of the game. 

Ertz’s first $250K bonus was for going over 600 receiving yards on the season. Then, he reached a half-million by catching 60 or more pᴀsses in 2024. 

Then, on the decisive play of the game, Ertz made a spectacular catch on a Jayden Daniels pᴀss, to clinch Washington its first playoff berth since 2020. 

That grab doubled with his sixth touchdown catch of the season, enacting the final $250,000 bonus of the evening. That’s one lucrative evening for the 34 year old.

Ertz is in his first season with the Commanders, being brought to the nation’s capital as one more veteran target to help a rookie Daniels.

Both the No 2 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft and the veteran тιԍнт end have played beyond expectations and led Washington to its best regular season record in more than three decades. 

The Commanders will be the No 6 or 7 seed in the playoffs, meaning a trip to Philadelphia, where Ertz played for eight seasons, or Los Angeles, will be the Wild Card round matchup. 

Ertz has enjoyed a career renaissance playing again in the NFC East, reaching more than 600 yards receiving with one team for the first time since 2019.

The only thing that could make Ertz’s regular season better? A win over the Commanders’ biggest rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, who they play on Sunday afternoon.
