2018 Team by Team Active Roster Spending by Position

This section highlights each team's current spending allocations across the 9 major position groups. We've broken numbers our by Combined Cap Hits, % of the Active Roster Cap, Combined Average Salary, and the Average Age respectively. Additionally we've included a bar chart that shows how a team's cap spending compares to that of the league average positionally.

Arizona Cardinals
Top 51 Cap Space: $19,821,453 | Draft Picks: 8 | Potential Draft Needs: QB, CB, OT, WR
The Cardinals boast the 31st lowest offensive line cap dollars, & the fewest allocated to the defensive line currently. Bradford & Glennon become new, but short-term QB options. WR Larry Fitzgerald will likely ride off into the sunset after 2018, and Patrick Peterson needs a legitimate CB across the field to shore up the secondary.

Atlanta Falcons
Top 51 Cap Space: $3,531,599 | Draft Picks: 7 | Potential Draft Needs: DL, WR, LB
The Falcons have a few specific holes to fill via the draft, notably on the defensive line, and in depth WR/LB roles. They're also cap-strapped, and are in the process of extending QB Matt Ryan. Atlanta leads the league in offensive line cap, with $46M+ currently allocated. This is also the oldest team in football right now.

Baltimore Ravens
Top 51 Cap Space: $8,561,256 | Draft Picks: 8 | Potential Draft Needs: OC, OT, TE, QB
The Ravens boast the highest cap allocation to both their secondary & special teams units, but are nearly dead last in most other positional categories. As of now, 30% of their active cap dollars are being allocated to defensive backs.

Buffalo Bills
Top 51 Cap Space: $18,818,557 | Draft Picks: 9 | Potential Draft Needs: QB, ILB, OC, OG, WR
The Bills currently have the fewest cap dollars allocated to their active roster, in large part to a few notable trades, & sudden retirements from two starting OL. It's a big draft for Buffalo, who currently stand as the 4th oldest team in the league.

The second-oldest active roster in football could use a little turnover, especially at the O-Line & Safety positions, but offer a fairly balanced cap approach in terms of positional spending right now.

Chicago Bears
Top 51 Cap Space: $30,068,002 | Draft Picks: 7 | Potential Draft Needs: EDGE, OG, ILB
With the exception of the TE position (4th), and surprisingly the WRs (8th) the Bears have below-average cap allocations in all positional categories heading toward the draft. They'll be active shoppers on the defensive side of the ball.

Cincinnati Bengals
Top 51 Cap Space: $18,869,193 | Draft Picks: 11 | Potential Draft Needs: WR, LB, OT, QB
The 2018 Bengals need a little luck in the health department to stay competitive. New LT Cordy Glenn is an All-Pro when healthy, the passing game lives and dies by AJ Green/Tyler Eifert's availability, and there's no plan yet in place to succeed Andy Dalton, whose contract is all but voidable at this point. Not to mention more games missed for LB Vontaze Burfict...

Cleveland Browns

No surprise, but the Browns are the youngest active roster in football, and are only Top 10 spenders at the offensive line (8th), and wide receiver position (9). Finding a new left tackle for their pending new franchise QB is arguably the most important takeaway this week for Cleveland.

Denver Broncos
Top 51 Cap Space: $13,771,478 | Draft Picks: 8 | Potential Draft Needs: OT, RB/WR, TE
With Case Keenum now in the fold, a top of the draft QB doesn't appear to be the major focus. Releasing C.J. Anderson puts the RB position in question, and the loss of Aqib Talib via trade adds a significant hole to the secondary. The Wide Receiver core is aging, and slightly overpaid, so getting younger in this regard will help the short-term.

Detroit lost Haloti Ngata to free agency, and have Ezekiel Ansah on a tag, but need a long-term answer on the defensive line. The same goes for the running back position, where both Theo Riddick & Ameer Abdullah are on a short leash.

Houston signed a few depth fliers to shore up the offensive line this season, but two long-term tackles are heavily needed. The Texans' tight end outlook is nearly non-existent, as injuries have decimated this group the past two seasons. Free agent splashes pushed their secondary over 25% of their total cap allocations, 4th most in the league.

Indianapolis Colts
Top 51 Cap Space: $61,312,376 | Draft Picks: 9 | Potential Draft Needs: CB, EDGE, WR
The Colts relinquished both starting CBs, a starting WR, and a starting RB this offseason, but the big focus this draft is likely on the defensive side of the ball, most notably the pass rush and secondary. Indy's $145M in active cap is the 2nd fewest in the NFL currently.

Jacksonville Jaguars
Top 51 Cap Space: $13,591,934 | Draft Picks: 7 | Potential Draft Needs: OG, DL, LB, QB
With QB Blake Bortles now on a short-term extension, Jacksonville's first round pick is one to watch. Financially speaking, their defensive line is loaded with major dollars (#1 in the NFL), so getting younger and cheaper there sooner rather than later is wise. The O-Line and LBing core will need upgrades this month. At $197M currently, the Jaguars have the most cap dollars allocated to their active roster in the NFL.

Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs defense has been gutted over the past few offseasons for cap & production purposes, and the result leaves big shoes to fill with upcoming draft picks. KC is out of the Top 10 in cap spending in every positional category outside of TEs & LBs.

The Chargers past few offseasons have been inspiring, and their cap layout shows as much, as LA sits pretty much on the average line in all regards. The fragility of the defensive line seems to be a focal point this week, as does the eventual departure of QB Philip Rivers.

In terms of the 2018 roster, WR LaQuon Treadwell's spot could be upgraded with an early round sleeper pick. The Vikins have the 3rd fewest cap dollars allocated to the WR position.

New York Giants
Top 51 Cap Space: $9,653,780 | Draft Picks: 6 | Potential Draft Needs: EDGE, QB, OC/OG
The Giants will have options and offers at #2, but taking Eli's future replacement, or JPP's current replacement (Chubb) seems to make the most sense - though acquiring 3-4 additional picks might be the best move of any. New York has Top 10 cap dollars to just their defensive line, and rank 26th overall currently.

New York Jets
Top 51 Cap Space: $25,157,377 | Draft Picks: 6 | Potential Draft Needs: QB, EDGE, TE/WR, OG/OC
The Jets paid a steep price to slot themselves 3rd this week, but will come away with a top-flight QB in doing so. From there the team needs to address the center of the offensive line, a depleted pass rush (Wilkerson/Richardson departures), and a razor thin pass catching group. This will be a very fluid roster over the next few months.

Philadelphia Eagles
Top 51 Cap Space: $846,964 | Draft Picks: 6 | Potential Draft Needs: CB, TE, RB
The Eagles have Top 5 money allocated to the offensive and defensive lines, and incredible values everywhere else. Cornerback appears to be the most prominent need, with Patrick Robinson's departure and Daryl Worley's sudden release. Adding blocking depth at the TE position will prove important both to Wentz & the running game.

Pittsburgh Steelers
Top 51 Cap Space: $2,672,966 | Draft Picks: 7 | Potential Draft Needs: LB, DB, RB
The Steelers currently boast the 5th most cap dollars to their active roster, in large part due to Big Ben, Le'Veon Bell, and a well-paid offensive line. It's a good recipe for winning now, but it comes with future restraints. A current replacement for Ryan Shazier plus future replacements for CB Joe Haden and Bell likely puts the Steelers' draft in focus.

Garoppolo's $37M cap figure is nearly $10M more than any other team's combined QB depth. Reuben Foster's legal troubles makes the center of the defense a top need this week, while a young stud CB should also be in the mix.
