The former Eagles safety man earned a big payday thanks to his high snap count and low salary.

Each season since the CBA ratified in 2002, there has been a money pool, the performance-based compensation program that pays players based on their playing time and salary level. This year’s top earner was now-former Eagles safety Marcus Epps, who earned $880,384 — out of the $336 million paid out — for the 2022 season.
Epps had the support of his teammates as he attempted to fill the spot for Malcolm Jenkins and Rodney McLeod and went on to post career-best numbers in his third full year with the team. He started all 17 games and played in all but 10 defensive snaps while recording 94 total tackles, six passes defended and one forced fumble. The security played a bunch of snaps for someone in the final year of their rookie deal, whose base salary was $965,000.
The NFL only released the top 25 payouts, and Epps — now a member of the Las Vegas Raiders — was the only Philly native on the list.
