Read more: Comparing the Patriots positional cap spending to the rest of the NFLThe Patriots are allocating $52,160,199, or 37.5% of their cap to the defense while the average team is allocating $57,830,388.
The Patriots are allocating $63,271,459, or 45.48%, of their cap to the offense. The league average is $60,540,304.
Some observations – the Patriots spending is more focused on the offense than the league. The average team has 69 players. The Pats have 64, the 7th smallest amount in the league. The average team has $10,843,157.78 in cap space. The Patriots have $7,932,369. The Patriots are right around the league average in dead money which does not support the argument that the large dead money hit for Aaron Hernandez prevented the Pats from conducting more transactions in free agency.
