The Falcons have $45 million in dead money over the past two seasons, the second most in the NFL over that time. Only a few teams have over $35 million in dead money in the past two years.
The Saints have over $75 million in dead money, blowing any other team out the water.
Many point to 2017 as the season in which we will finally get relief. However, we already lead the league in dead money for 2017 as well.
There is also a very strong correlation between dead money and success. Here are the teams that had over $20 million in dead money last season.
Niners
Falcons
Saints
Bucs
Ravens
Lions
Bears
Dolphins
Chiefs
Of those teams, only the Chiefs had a winning record.
To try and put some things in perspective here is the dead cap for some teams over the last two seasons.
Saints- $75 million
Bengals- $4 million
Packers- $6 million
Broncos- $14 million
You could literally field and entire starting defensive unit better than what we have for the amount of dead money in place each of the past two seasons.
It's enough money to have covered the salaries of JJ Watt, Von Miller, Josh Norman and Luke Kuechly the past two seasons.
