Also keep in mind there are variables that these stats are missing, I don't know how meaningful these variables are for each team nevertheless because it changes due to FA signings.
There is a strong correlation between NFL longevity and position group. RB, as an example, use to have shortest careers in NFL. Now it appears to be WRs which is around 2.2 years. https://www.si.com/nfl/2016/03/01/nfl-careers-shortened-two-years-data-analysis
RBs use to average 3.3 with the league average as 4.99 years. SO position group is a factor, and teams draft by BPA and needs (position group). Some teams need players that are higher risk of injury and less longevity. For those wondering, kickers have the highest longevity but several kickers and punters are UDFA signings.
