Los Angeles Rams outside linebacker Leonard Floyd recorded a sack on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals to earn a $1.25 million contract incentive.
The Rams signed Floyd, who was originally a first-round pick out of the University of Georgia, as a free agent this offseason after he previously played for the Chicago Bears.
The Rams defeated the Cardinals 18-7 to finish 10-6 and earn a playoff date with the Seattle Seahawks in the first round.
Floyd finished the season with 10.5 sacks, a career high. He has racked up 29.0 career sacks and will be a free agent after the season. Floyd is set to earn $10 million for his efforts this year.
Congratulations to Leonard Floyd. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported his contract incentive.

Following Floyd’s successful season with the Rams, Los Angeles will likely look to retain him if it has the cap space available. Before then, Leonard Floyd will look to add to his postseason sack total (one career postseason sack).
