It was mentioned, what would the line look like if we had kept Unger, Sweezy, Capenter, and Okung. So I was curious what those guys are making now. So went looking on Spotrac at their current contracts. What are their cap hits this year and next. Added in Gilliam as well to round it out.
RT Gary Gilliam $2,162,500 -
RG JR Sweezy $4,687,500 - next year 5,875,000
C Max Unger $$7,400,000 - next year 8,000,000
LG James Carpenter $6,805,000 - next year 6,805,000
LT Russell Okung $6,000,000 - next year 15,000,000
That's about $27,055,000 cap hit for 2017
And let's say we had another 4 o-lineman making about $800,000 a year, rookie deals or minimums. Say our cap hit total is about $30 to 31,000,000 a year? So we'd be about 8th or 9th total spender in NFL for o-line this year.

Next year though..... we'd sky rocket to the top 1 or 2 when Okung's contract balloons.
