4. Washington Redskins
Washington’s offense is right up there with the priciest ones, costing $96,978,419.
Right off the top, Washington placed a franchise tag on quarterback Kirk Cousins for the amount of $23.94 million for 2017. The team will have to decide what to do about Cousins following this season. Whether he remains with Washington or migrates, he should command a pretty hefty salary.
Left tackle Trent Williams is the highest-paid offensive lineman weighing in at $15.14 million.
To the surprise of many, Washington’s newest wide receiver, Terrelle Pryor hits the team’s cap at $6 million. Tight end Jordan Reed rounds out the top-five highest paid on Washington’s offense, soaking up three percent or $5.74 million of the salary cap.
Washington will have the tough task once again of competing with the suddenly red-hot Dallas Cowboys and stout New Giants to win the NFC East.
