It's the DL.
The entire DL is comprised of higher-paid veterans.
Cap hits this year:
Reader - $15.5 mill
Hendrickson - $15.5 mill
BJ Hill - $10.8 mill
Hubbard - $10 mill
--------------------------
Total - $50+ mill
That position group is where all the money is right now.
The OL makes pretty decent money.
Jonah is $12.6. Collins $9.4. Cappa $8.75. Karras $5.6. That's $36 amongst those 4 guys.
Next year, when Jonah comes off the books, will be the year for spending on OT. Collins also has a lower dead cap #. And we will have a year to evaluate Carman's development, and Volson's. We have 5 OTs under contract. Plus we could draft one.
No way are we gonna spend $20 mil in a mediocre OT this year in FA. I wouldn't spend $20 mil on Brown. Tunsil, maybe.
