Bills' Khalil Shakir can earn $150,000 contract incentive this week image

Khalil Shakir could earn himself a nice little bonus this weekend or next.

The Buffalo Bills' slot receiver has a contract incentive that he can reach pretty simply.

Shakir gets $150,000 extra from a clause in his contract that requires him to catch five touchdowns this season.

The slippery Shakir enters Week 17 with four touchdown catches.

The Bills take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.

In Week 18, they play the New York Jets.

Shakir is the one reliable piece of a wide receiver room that has otherwise underwhelmed for Buffalo this season.

He's not much of a TD catcher, doing most of his work on short passes and near the first-down marker.

But the Bills will surely know there's a bit of incentive to get Shakir a touchdown.

If the opportunity presents itself, don't be surprised if Josh Allen gives Shakir a chance to get this fifth TD and the $150,000 that comes with it.
