A comparitive analysis of team spending by position

[KB_fan]

Came across an interesting chart thanks to the Panthers sub at Reddit

 

 

The Reddit discussion thread is here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/panthers/comments/60rpt8/how_each_team_allocating_money_in_offseason_so_far/

Pretty surprising to see the Panthers up top in terms of most cash spent?  I haven't checked out the data, it's supposedly from Over the Cap....

Comments?

One commenter at Reddit noted that it's pretty shocking to see Panthers & Cowboys both spending the same % on the Oline.  Hmmm... we may be spending the same %, but sadly our quality doesn't match up!   Still pretty shocking to me to see how little we have allocated at WR.  I would still like to see DG bring in a veteran to provide some competition & leadership... but obviously we're getting a bit low on cash.

Very good stuff. Thanks KB_fan. I didn't see it but did that % of the cowboys oline consider Frees recent retirement. We have been very frugal the last couple of years, excluding this year.

The reason for cowboys OL being the same, is cowboys used draft picks and Smith signed a GREAT 10 year 100 million contract years ago. 3 out of the 5 are on rookie deals, one is on a undrafted deal(Collins, the guy fell due a murder investigation). Doug free just retired too, he was the starting RT.

KB do you plan on taking this data further?

We've spent the most? Maybe it's too early in the morning for spreadsheets.

Who would have bet the stillers

spend 65% on offense ??

Interesting stuff, KBF.

The Panthers aren't getting their money's worth on the OL %.

Thanks for the info on the Cowboys O line contracts.

Sorry, I won't be able to do much more with this data.  One of my colleagues is on a medical leave and so instead of the fairly quiet March & April I was anticipating on the workfront (leaving me some time & energy to do some Panthers number crunching...), I'm pulling double duty on work and things are very busy.

I would surmise from this spreadsheet that the % for WR and TE will invert 2 years from now.
