This is a very cool website that allows you to compare various teams by salary and by positions
Take a look here to see how balanced/unbalanced teams are in where they spend their money

Indiana's balance will change once the QB's contract is up. Interesting stats.
That actually would be *Indianapolis* there, Massachusetts Jim.
I wonder if Green Bays special teams figure is before or after Crosby redid his contract.
It looks to me that about 2/3 of the teams in the league spend more on offense, or about equally on offense versus defense. A lot of those teams were the best in the league as well. Sure, Indy and Baltimore and MN spent as much if not more on D, but it follows the trend(s) in the league where offense is stressed or viewed as more important than defense. The really good teams usually have an elite QB and very good offensive tackles and those positions tend to be some of the highest paid on the roster next to good pass rushers.
If you look at GB's offensive graph, it shows we've spent NO MONEY AT CENTER!!!!1!
Leave it to Tightwad Ted to go into the regular season with only four offensive linemen. Sheesh.
