On Saturday night, the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans to clinch the AFC South title. Moreover, it was a great night for a few Jaguars players, particularly for 26-year-old wide receiver Christian Kirk. According to NFL Insider Field Yates, the WR made around $1 million in incentives for completing 80 catches and 1,100 receiving yards against the Titans.

Notably, many Jaguars players included performance clauses in their contracts, which got them a hefty amount of money. Safe to say, Kirk earned that money fairly based on his performance throughout the season. The NFL world also praised the wide receiver for making that money through hard work, as nobody handed him that money.
