Vikings kicker Dan Bailey has made 92 percent of his field goals in 2019.
If he stays at that mark, he’ll make a cool $1 million incentive via Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune.
However, if Bailey dips below that 90 percent mark, he’ll lose $250,000 in incentives.
The Vikings player who actually has the best chance to be the big winner in the incentive game this season? Dan Bailey.
He's made 91.7% of his field goals this season; if Bailey stays above 90, he pockets an extra $1M (or $750K for >87.5%, $500K for >84%, $250K for >80).

If Bailey goes 0-for-1, his percentage will dip to 88 percent. That would still net him an extra $750,000. If Bailey goes 0-for-2, he’ll be down to the $500,000 bonus instead of the $1 million.
If you’re Bailey’s bank account, you’re probably hoping the team doesn’t approach field goal position.
In what is a meaningless game as far as the standings are concerned, this is something to keep an eye on.
Bailey has a base salary of $1 million for the 2019 season.
