EARTH CITY, Mo. -- The Los Angeles Rams used a second-round pick on offensive tackle Rob Havenstein with the idea of plugging him in at right tackle immediately.

Havenstein not only took over the job but held it down for most of the 2015 season and started enough games to lead the Rams in performance-based pay. Havenstein took home an additional $187,747.81, a nice addition to the $435,000 base salary he had for his rookie season.

Performance-based pay is distributed from a fund for each team to supplement pay for players who play and produce a lot relative to their salary. In other words, those who play the most but don't make much get the biggest rewards.

Here's a breakdown of the Rams' top 10 earners in performance-based pay:

OT Rob Havenstein -- $187,747.81

WR Bradley Marquez -- $186,317.86

OG Cody Wichmann -- $181,801.06

C Tim Barnes -- $165,530.66

S T.J. McDonald -- $162,447.84

OL Jamon Brown -- $158,278.49

RB Benny Cunningham -- $156,646.01

S Maurice Alexander -- $147,819.90

CB Marcus Roberson -- $134,561.46

LB Cameron Lynch -- $113,082.03

Which is why you build through the draft, and if they get too expensive, you have to let them go sometimes. Just think how much Donald will cost us. He's one that I hope we pay.

But, but, but...Havenstein was a reach in the second round!

Paying these out is one of the reasons that we don't roll over all our available cap space for the next year.

NFL announces 2015 performance-based pay

The NFL announced Tuesday that it paid out more than $121 million in performance-based pay in 2015 under a system that rewards players who log significant playtime that ranks over their average compensation level.

The league also announced the top 25 recipients under the system(read article posted below). Broncos center Matt Paradis, a former sixth-round pick who started for the Super Bowl champions in his second season, made the most money at $391,648. The top four recipients were offensive linemen.

Performance-based pay is computed by totaling a player’s regular-season snaps and dividing that number by his adjusted regular-season compensation — full season salary, prorated portion of signing bonus, earned incentives — and comparing that final number to the final number of his teammates.

Every player who takes a regular-season snap is eliigible for the program. Former undrafted players or low-round picks who earn starting roles while still playing on their rookie contracts are in line to earn the most money under the program, which has paid out more than $1 billion since being established in 2002.

Ex-Bengals wide receiver Marvin Jones, who last week cashed in on a big free agent deal with the Lions, was No. 20 on this year’s list with $261,458 in performance-based pay. Super Bowl XLIX hero Malcolm Butler of the Patriots, college wide receiver turned offensive tackle Alejandro Villanueva of the Steelers and veteran wide receiver James Jones of the Packers were among the other notable names on the top 25 list.

OT Rob Havenstein -- $187,747.81

Good for Rob. Like the way he carried himself before the season. I think he is a leader. Great pick.
