Week 17 stands as a host of meaningless games for many NFL players and teams, but the final week of the regular season could result in massive paydays for players with performance incentives in reach.
Most notably, controversial Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy, who played in just 11 games this season because of a suspension for domestic violence charges. Hardy, who will be a free agent next season, can earn a $1 million bonus if he sacks the Redskins' quarterback four times Sunday. Entering with six sacks, Hardy can earn a $500,000 incentive with two more.

Hardy isn't the only player in line for a potential payday. Here's a list of prominent NFL players and what each needs to reach a big bonus Sunday.
— Cowboys RB Darren McFadden needs three rushing yards to reach 1,000 yards and earn a $300,000 bonus.
— If Cowboys QB Kellen Moore gets knocked out of the game, backup Matt Cassel can earn a $800,000 bonus if he reaches 45 percent of the Cowboys' season snaps. According to ESPN, Cassel enters Sunday's game a hair under the 45-percent cutoff.
— Patriots WR Danny Amendola needs seven receptions reach 70 on the season and trigger a $225,000 bonus.
— Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin needs two receptions to reach 75 catches and a $400,000 bonus. Should he reach 85 catches on the season, it moves to $500,000.
— Bills QB Tyrod Taylor is in line for a $1 million bonus if he plays 80 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps this season. Up to this point, he's played 848 of 1,000, or 84.8 percent, meaning will likely need to play just a handful snaps to trigger the bonus, Fox Sports says.
— For playoff teams clinching Sunday, each player will receive a $25,000 bonus for a division title, while wild-card berths equate to a base $23,000 bonus for each player on the 53-man roster.
