We have quite a lot of money invested in our starting TE's, but they are both starters and other than Hilton we have little to nothing invested in our receivers. We have Hilton, Moncrief, Allen, Doyle and Gore as our offensive specialists and now all are paid as starters except Moncrief. Our 3rd receiver Dorsett is also not on a big contract. To me we are actually still probably below the league average for the overall contract value of our offensive specialists, even if you were to include Luck.
Luck = $19.4m
Hilton = $10.0m
Moncrief = $1.9m
Allen = $6.0m
Doyle = $6.0m
Gore = $3.5m
Total spend = $46.8m
Looking at the money spent on the team, we have practically nothing invested on the offensive line besides the $12.8m for Castonzo. It's less than $8m for every other body currently on our roster which includes names that i have never heard of. The other main guys, Mewhort, Kelly, Haeg, Clark, Good and Blythe combine for a total of $6m. Obviously after this season Mewhort is going to get a nice contract extension.
I really do think that we will be making a bit of a splash in free agency hopefully spending $7-8m a year on Larry Warford.
A starting line of Castonzo, Mewhort, Kelly, Warford and Clark, with Haeg, Good and Blythe possibly Harrison as backups would look fine in my eyes.
