How can Tampa Bat be spending that much on offense? Who do they have that is that good? A lot of dead money yet from Brandon Marshall? They spend too much on special teams too.

Vincent Jackson?
Yeah, Tampa was trying an approach of no bonuses and making the whole contract out of base salary. I think the whole thing is guaranteed, too.
WTF!!! Denver is paying Elvis Dumervil $19 million?!?!
Neat chart, but some of the numbers don't match what http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/ has. Not sure which is right, but I've always used spotrac. Where's cpheph1 been?
A question, please:
The site that Boris linked reports the cap is set at $120.6M, but there are several teams over that amount.
Is this where the carry-over from the previous year is factored in? Are there other variables in play in those numbers?
Looking at the Packers (same site), I was really struck by the huge gap between the starter salaries and those of the backups. It was especially remarkable on the DL and LB positions.
Also, the number of guys that started this year provided the Pack with some tremendous bargains. Of course, it's most remarkable on our DB positions, and Barclay and Newhouse on the OL.
Do you guys/gals think performance! is linked to salary? Some of our guys sure played like bargain-basement finds
The link posted by Hungry above (incidentally, used by the other site as one source of info) makes the salaries look a bit more balanced, but it may be due to the format.
The biggest thing that caught my eye while scanning the Packers info was the jump in salaries for Sitton and Lang in the 2014/15 year. Sitton is due $4.5M; Lang $3.5M!

looking at that chart, it is unbelievable that the niners have been able to assemble their hugely talented team (14 probowlers, and a lot of first-teamers at that) and still keep to the salary cap.
i know they have picked high in the draft for many years, and that may not continue. regardless, that team is loaded on both sides of the ball. what is also impressive is the seahawks' defensive performance with a relatively low salary allocation for their defense. one should keep in mind that SF HAS signed free agents such as moss/manningham/rogers, etc... which have played important roles on their team.
it is clear that the packers rode arod to the playoffs for several years but have little elite talent in the d-line, o-line, rb, te, or lb positions (other than cm3).
with the talent level closing in to arod from the new wave of quarterbacks, it's difficult to say whether the packers can catch up through the draft. i think it's time to let go of overpriced/older players (driver will retire and jennings will go, but there is still woodson to consider along the same lines).
so, does the pack have a chance to make moves, are mediocre seasons / perhaps one tanked season ahead?

I've been thinking we need to adopt the viking model
Draft a RB high, draft high in general so the draft is a more fun experience, and sign more free agents.
yup, this Packer model of winning all the time is wearing thin.

I believe the 9ers and Seahawks don't ever have to give their players raises and hold them in a state of indentured servitude.
Yes, "tank" a season. Jeebus ****.

Also remember to get picks in late

Like Henry says, I'm certain none of these guys will want raises & they'll be happy just staying on the same team & winning for lower pay.
The Niners have had talent since Mike Singletary coached them. I've watched them grow for 5 years. You're seeing their hard work pay off this season. They had to franchise Dashon Goldson last year. They have their cap issues coming soon too.
The Packers aren't as far away as you seem to be implying here. Let TT work his magic in the draft & low or mid-tier free agents. It's served us very well even if it isn't "sexy" like you would seem to prefer.
The niners are just starting to win after a decade of sucking. The Packers model has kept them on top for 2 decades plus. Jim Harbaugh said and I quote, "The Packers are the model franchise that everyone strives to be. We're trying to get there."
It's a copycat league. No surprise other teams are following the proven model.
Nice web page. The last peace is to cross reference each team free agents with their current cap number. It looks as thought a lot of teams are in cap hell or at least cap heck.
The Packers look to be in a OK position.
Oakland looks like they are in a good position to begin rebuilding.
Detroit looks like they are in a good position to fall apart.
This is the first year the full CBA kicks in. Teams have to spend something like 95% of the cap. This year teams can not pocket big money by not spend ther allotted cap. I wpuld think that means we will see a little different free speending this year.
