The numbers came out for the performance-based salary distribution for the 2022 season, and New England Patriots guard Michael Onwenu came in with the fourth-highest salary.
He earned $813,083 in performance-based pay.
Performance-based pay is a form of compensation based on playing time and salary. Onwenu has definitely had a big role not only during last season, but for the Patriots as a whole.
He was drawn in the sixth round with a 182Ra Composite pick up. He has played a variety of positions during his time in New England, including right tackle and left tackle. He has started in 41 of 49 total games.

Onwenu has proven to be one of the Patriots’ best draft picks over the past few seasons, and this compensation and bonus reflect that.
