Brown can earn up to $900,000 in per game incentives, and there are incentives for hitting certain reception, yardage and touchdown marks. The 32-year old receiver will also receive a $250,000 bonus if he’s achieved a 45 percent playing time threshold and is on the active roster for a Bucs Super Bowl win this season.
After a year away from the NFL, Brown returned on a one-year deal with Tampa Bay in 2020. Brown joined the Bucs in Week 9 after serving an 8-game suspension and finished the year with 483 yards and four touchdowns on 45 receptions. All of his touchdowns came over the final three games of Tampa Bay’s season.
In the postseason, Brown hauled in another touchdown in the Bucs’ wild card win at Washington, but suffered an injury the next week against the Saints that forced him out of the divisional round game. The injury also kept him out of the NFC Championship Game against the Packer,s but wouldn’t end his playoff run. Returning for Super Bowl LV against Kansas City, Brown had five catches for 22 yards and a touchdown. That score gave the Bucs a 21-6 halftime lead.
