Taylor Heinicke celebrates $125k win bonus with a new pair of Jordans

Sunday’s win over the Green Bay Packers netted Washington Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke a nice $125K bonus. He celebrated the victory and the bonus by adding a new pair of Jordans to his collection.

Heinicke made his season debut in Week 7, starting for the injured Carson Wentz. After a rocky start that included throwing a pick-six in the second quarter, Heinicke regrouped and helped the Commanders rally to a 23-21 win over his childhood idol Aaron Rodgers and his favorite team, the Packers.

Heinicke grew up cheering for the Packers alongside his late father. The win was refreshing for Heinicke for personal reasons. However, he has some financial reasons to be happy.

As part of his two-year, $4.75M contract he signed last year, Heinicke earns a $125K bonus for every Commanders’ victory in which he plays at least 60% of their offensive snaps.

Last season his six wins as a fill-in starter earned him an additional $750K. As a result, Heinicke started a tradition of buying a pair of Jordans in a color scheme related to the team Washington beats, according to ESPN’s John Keim.

On Monday, Heinicke posted the green and yellow kicks he copped after beating the Packers on Instagram.
