NoSaint Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Can select any offensive and/or defensive unit around the league and it shows spending at each position group on that unit, league rank for spending on offense, defense and special teams, etc... not sure how accurate but interesting to get a feel for how money is allocated: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/interactive/2013/jan/30/nfl-salaries-team-position?CMP=twt_gu#buffalo-bills,buffalo-bills
BringBackFergy Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Pretty cool link. I figured the Bills had way overspent on defense and they are only 8th. Didn't realize G. Wilson and Barnett made as much as they did, add in Kelsay and we could free up alot more money on FA's/rooks. I also see there is alot of improvement to be had on offense...we are 28th and have some baggage to let go in the WR dept.

BillsVet Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Buffalo 8th in the NFL in spending on defense. Not surprising given the M. Williams, K. Williams, Dareus, and Anderson deals. But 28th in offensive unit spending? I'd chalk this up to Nix believing his HC (and the HC himself) believing that they could win with less and rely on scheme. That obviously didn't work. Good stuff.

Good stuff. a lot of rookie deals for our best on offense too - levitre, wood, glenn are all cheeeeap, chandler tho not a rookie is a good value and we dont have a FRANCHISE qb on the books (one of those 15m type guys). defense has a lot more second contract guys as its building blocks. i generally agree that they used the more with less approach on offense, and id say they generally did get more from less.... but they had a lot less and the more only got them to average.
