7. Green Bay Packers
The Packers are always a tough team to compete against in the NFC North. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his offense weigh in at No. 7 with a current cap hit of $89.058.397.
To nobody’s surprise, Rodgers’ salary equates to 11.54 percent of the that cap. The Packers also spent big money on wide receivers Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson, who combine for approximately $24.2 million in salary. It was only in 2015 that the Packers entered into a four-year $40,000,000 contract with Cobb.
Right and left tackles Bryan Bulaga and David Bakhtiari are the next-best paid, occupying slightly over $13.8 million salary.
New to the Packers offense, tight end Martellus Bennett signed a three-year $21 million deal in the offseason. That’s quite a bit more than tight end Richard Rodgers, who takes up only 1.09 percent of the team’s cap space.
As for running backs, the Packers save tons by paying newly transitioned Ty Montgomery only $788,636 in 2017.
However it all shakes out in 2017, the Packers should remain one of the more dominate offenses to deal with in the entire NFC.
