an insight into teams with 8 or more, $6 mil contracts

John Clayton has another commentary article that casts insight into something, I wish I had time for. He built a spreadsheet or database of players earning six million plus per year see..$6 million-a-year contracts in decline

This helps build a picture of the teams mentioned in the article youth and strength. If you have more 6 mil contracts combined with Pro Bowl players, you could say you're built to win this season.

Notable teams that have 8 or more players with $6+ mil contracts:

DAL
PHI

CHI

ATL
TB

SEA
SF

What jumps out to me is that these are all NFC teams, this could point toward the NFC dominating the AFC in their interconference game this year.

John also mentions a big decline for OAK, which could point to a 'bet against' and perhaps 'under the total' season for OAK.

I just wish the current spreadsheet or database was available online as well as prior years.
