FOXBOROUGH – Before the Patriots enter the playoffs, they’ll have several players looking to cash in with end-of-year incentives. The team has multiple players who could earn extra money in today’s game against the Miami Dolphins .

Stefon Diggs and Hunter Henry are the ones to watch in this regular-season finale.

Diggs enters this matchup with 82 receptions, 970 receiving yards, and four touchdowns in his first season with the Patriots . The veteran receiver has a chance to earn an extra $1 million in this final game.

In his contract, Diggs has chances for an extra $500,000 with several reception, receiving yards, and Pro Bowl bonuses. Diggs has already earned $1 million after surpassing 70 and 80 catches. He needs eight more receptions to hit 90 for another half million dollars.

Diggs also needs 30 yards to hit 1,000 yards to earn another $500,000. If he hits that milestone, it’ll be the seventh time in his NFL career.

Henry also has a chance to earn some extra money for the new year. The veteran tight end heads into this matchup with 55 receptions, 712 yards, and seven touchdowns. His contract calls for $250,000 reception incentives at 50, 55, 60, and 65 catches. Henry has already earned an extra $500,000 this season and needs five more receptions to add another $250,000.

Among those players who are already in good shape on their incentives is right tackle Morgan Moses .

The veteran has two playing time incentives, earning $750,000 with 80% snaps played and another $750,000 with 90% of the offensive snaps played. Moses has played 95.5% of the team’s offensive snaps this season, so it’s more than likely he’ll earn an extra $1.5 million after today’s game.

It remains to be seen how long Patriots starters play against the Dolphins. The team ruled out four players before Sunday with Harold Landry (knee), Robert Spillane (ankle), Khyiris Tonga (foot), and Jared Wilson (concussion). Also inactive for the Patriots are Marcus Bryant , Caedan Wallace and Tommy DeVito .

The Patriots also activated defensive tackle Milton Williams and left tackle Will Campbell for Sunday’s matchup.
