NFL Trade Rumors
To help pass the time from now until the start of training camp, we’ll be looking at where every team ranks in positional spending. In this post, we tackle the offensive line. This tends to be the biggest area of spending for most teams, as not only is it the position with the highest numbers once the rosters are finalized, it’s a premium position. It’s not a stretch to say teams rise and fall along with their offensive line. Quarterback may be the most important position, but every fanbase knows the frustration of having a good quarterback behind a bad offensive line.
One note: rather than count dead money toward the positional groups, we will have it ranked separately in a post of its own. For example, Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa‘s $55.4 million dead cap hit won’t count toward Miami’s quarterback spending, but it will be included in their league-leading $179 million dead cap figure.
Here’s how the league’s offensive line rooms shake out from most expensive to least expensive:
