One day in the next week or two Randy McMichael will go to the mail box, sort through all of the junk he regularly receives, and discover an envelope with a Miami Dolphins return address on it.

And at that moment, the Dolphins second-year tight end will be more than $40,000 wealthier, compliments of the NFL's new "performance based pay" program. Instituted in partnership with the NFL Players Association, as a part of the 2002 extension to the collective bargaining agreement, the new system will soon reward players with checks ranging from just hundreds of dollars to payouts exceeding $40,000.

Count the excitable McMichael as among the top three beneficiaries
