The NFL has traditionally released these numbers on the last day of the league year, which for 2018 (bonuses) means we should expect them sometime before 3:59 pm New York time on Wednesday (03/13/2019), and they’ll largely get lost in the frenzy that comes with the start of free agency.

My own view is that it would be beneficial to see payouts for this program increased by the next collective bargaining agreement.
