Re: Pats in top 5 in "committed cash" since 2000 @ $694 million
The one thing that stands out among the top 5 is that the Patriots are the only multiple Superbowl winner. There's a reason why, they don't tend to be out of balance with salaries based on where a player is on the depth chart. Stallworth was a nice receiver last year, but with the contract he signed, his money would have jumped to a #1 or #2 this season. While he attracted a lot of attention from the opposing secondary, he was not a true possession receiver. It was a good move to let him go, and it's one of the reasons the Pats have been able to maintain their high quality of play since 2000.
