NFL Highest Position Investment

Just some food for thought in this slow time of the season. Below is a list of all 32 teams and the position they invest in most heavily.


High and Low positions investments are Bold, NFC South are Underlined
Cardinals - WR 14.5M
Falcons - WR 17.6
Ravens - LB 23M
Bills - DE 17M
Panthers - LB 25M
Bears - DE 20M
Bengals - DE 20M
Browns - LB 18M
Cowboys - DE 22M
Broncos - QB 18.2M
Lions - QB 24M
Packers - LB 23M
Texans - WR 16.9M
Colts - LB 17M
Jaguars - DE 13M
Chiefs - LB 22M
Dolphins - LB 23M
Vikings - DE 26M
Patriots - QB 15.1M
Saints - QB 18.5M
Giants - QB 22M
Jets - LB 20M
Raiders - S 14M
Eagles - LB 20M
Steelers - LB 21M
Chargers - QB 19M
49ers - WR 17M
Seahwaks DE 26.7M
Rams - CB 16.8
Buccaneers - CB 20.4M
Titans - T 17M
Redskins - LB 19M

4 teams value WR the most
11 teams value LB the most
7 teams value DE the most
6 teams value QB the most
1 team values T the most
2 teams value CB the most
1 team values S the most

11 - Teams that invest in offense
21 - Teams that invest in defense

Re: NFL Highest Position Investment

Just wait until the Falcons have to dish out for Skid Britches; the way Flacco and Romo got paid they'll be in salary cap hell... Even worse than us

I'm waiting on this... I wonder if he'll get big money for only making it to the NFC championship.
I will be interesting to say the least.... but then again Tony Romo made big bucks lol

Thats usually what happens within the divisions not named the NFC East.

I think its interesting the one team in the NFC South that refuses to spend decent on Defense is the Falcons.

Its the defense of the Falcons that continue to burn them in just about every game they have played in since 2008.

That my friend is because for some reason they are under the assumption that Skid****s has the skillset to feed their hi-octane receivers.

And the sad thing is; the secondary keeps getting worse... I believe they have 2 rookies slated to start this year...

That has to be scary with the likes of Cam and Brees in the division

Re: NFL Highest Position Investment

Interesting stuff. With Kruger and Lewis gone, the Ravens are still spending on LBs, a WTF on the Cards, Clowns, Whiners and the other Lone Fart team, the cowpies aren't listed for E (everybody), the Chargers are spending the most on LOL (sorry Bolt), the Rams and Pirates are spending most on CB (could say WTF on those two as well) The most likely to succeed are spending on either the offensive or defensive QBs.

Although if that kid from Nevada keeps delivering, the Whiners ain't going to keep paying the most for WRs for long...

Hmm interesting. But high profile signings skew those numbers
