Top 10 most expensive NFL offenses

The Steelers offense is going to be great moving forward.

5. Arizona Cardinals

Head coach Bruce Arians runs a tight ship. His team’s fifth-most expensive offense averaged a notable 26.1 points in 2016. The current hit to the team’s overall salary cap is $92.38 million.

Veteran quarterback Carson Palmer and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald not surprisingly eat up a whopping 22.53 percent of that figure. Palmer is signed with the team through 2018 and Fitzgerald’s fully-guaranteed $11 million salary takes him through 2017 season.

Outside of Palmer and Fitz, left tackle Jared Veldheer and guard Mike Iupati combine for $19.7 million.

Interestingly enough, tight end Jermaine Gresham has a $3.75 million cap hit while workhorse running back David Johnson earns a meager $799,843 in salary. We recently discussed Johnson, who made our list of NFL players who deserve huge raises.

Soon enough, the Cardinals will have to make room to fork over the big bucks to their star running back. But the goal for now would be for both Palmer and Fitzgerald to make it to a championship game before they retire.
