Thought people would be interested to see where the Bengals fall on positional spending. Bolded indicates top 10.
Data pulled from Spotrac.
QB - 19th ($16.9 mill)
RB/FB - 16th ($7.2 mill)
WR - 11th ($26.6 mill)
TE - 8th ($11.4 mill)
OL - 19th ($34.3 mill)
DL - 12th ($31.8 mill)
LB - 28th ($11.1 mill)
DB - 15th ($32.2 mill)
ST - 11th ($6.2 mill)

After the Bengals win the Super Bowl, those WR and QB numbers will go way up.
Even if they don't win the Super Bowl, the WR number will go up once Green is re-signed.
Mixon still on his rookie contract helps.
in some cases you get what you pay for.
the Bengals LBers are 28th in NFL.
bargain bin shopping....equals worst pass coverage in the NFL

Boyd is due for a new contract too.

They'll extend Hardy Nickerson - 3 years $21 million and those numbers will go way up!
We're only spending 7.7 mil on our DB's??? That's not correct. Not even close. Dre is making close to 11 million himself. Maybe you typo'd, perhaps it's 17.7 million?

Yes, was an error on my part and also didn't include Dennard when I originally posted. XsandOs is correct. I have updated OP accordingly.

Kind of hard to believe that we aren't Top 10 in any 1 position group.
