Wallace is over $17M himself, and Hartline and Gibson are about $10M combined.Checking their depth chart, they are spending this cash on Cone, Williams, Williams, Binns, Spadola, Wallace, Gibbs, Hartline, Matthews + 4 rookies = 29.89 million??
That's nothing. There were many people who wanted to give up a first round pick to sign him as a restricted free agent a year earlier.Heh...Wallace. Wasn't there an all out "sign him!!!! Patriots are cheap!!!" gagfest of expert posts when his name came up in FA? Grass is always greener syndrome can and does come back to bite you in the azz more often than not.

It is not 17 million a season. It is 12 million.
Wallace's cap hits are $3.25m in 2013
$17.25m in 2014
$12.1m in 2015
$13.7m in 2016
$13.7m in 2017
Even though itappears that the Dolphins chose Wallace to have a high cap # in 2014 so as to use cap space the Dolphins still have over $13.2 million in cap space this year.
I guess this barplot would have been more interesting if it would have been either the average over the last few years or normalized for contract length.. as it is, it is essentially pointless..

Is our number inflated slightly by Slater being taken into account for this?
Take a look at the two Super Bowl teams. $19mm and $20mm.
So it's not stupid to allocate a higher share of the cap to receivers.
Other than Green Bay, doesn't look like many of the teams spending under $10mm on receivers (this year) made the playoffs (last year).

Yeah, that's the problem with looking at stats that reinforce your bias. You tend not to double check. People want to bag on the LOLphins, so they point to a one year outlier as if it's meaningful. I get that the Dolphins overpaid (they had to, in order to bring in free agents to a bad team, after all), but does anyone really think Brady wouldn't have liked to have Wallace on the team last season?
