The difference in philosophy is striking.
For 2019:
# Players w/ Salary Greater than: Rams.........Patriots
$10 million..........................................6...................3
$7.5 million.........................................9...................4
$5 million..........................................11...................7
$2.5 million.......................................14..................21
So we have more expensive players, but they have more medium salary players. We have 3 players between $2.5 and $5M, they have 14.
Is it better to have several highly paid players with fewer medium salary players or a few highly paid players with more medium salary guys? I know we can argue whether salary has anything to do with performance, but it is the value management places on players whose only job is to perform.
I think it's the latter because football is truly a team sport.
