Originally, as part of the standard four-year rookie deals they signed in 2015, the two players were scheduled to earn a $705,000 salary in 2018. However, given their statuses as mid-round draft picks – Flowers and Mason were both drafted in the fourth round –, the two players also qualify for so-called “proven performance escalators”. This means that their salaries increase to the level of the restricted free agency tender.

For Flowers and Mason, the increase is substantial: Instead of the above-mentioned $705,000, the duo will now play on a salary of $1.907 million – a considerable raise for two players on the verge of cashing in big time. After all, both Flowers and Mason are scheduled to hit unrestricted free agency one year from now.​

Didn’t he get destroyed on that drive when the game was on the line?

In Sunday’s game, Mason was matched against the highest-paid player on the Eagles’ roster — 6-foot-4, 298-pound Fletcher Cox. The Eagles love Cox so much, they signed him to a six-year, $103 million contract extension in 2016.

Mason neutralized Cox in the Patriots’ hurry-up offense. Cox was a non factor.


Carolina Panthers right guard Trai Turner signed a four-year, $45 million extension last season before his fourth pro season, and Turner’s not as good as Mason. Turner’s contract should serve as a blueprint for what Mason can expect after his third season in New England.​

Damn, going from $705k to $11 mil is quite the raise.

Edit: Also, "the eagles love Cox so much" Heh.

$1.907M. He has to perform and stay healthy for the hypothetical big payoff next year.
