How much money are you guys paying for top players? My LE, Greg Hardy, has a ton of sacks (22 as of week 13) and he is in the last year of his contract. I have Charles Johnson on the Right side with a $72 million contract and a bunch of other guys with big contracts, Jon Beason, DeAngelo Williams, Thomas Davis, Jonathan Stewart, etc. Honestly, I could just put anyone at LE and I know they would get a ton of sacks because that's the way the game is. But, realistically, a record-breaking defensive end would get a ridiculous amount of money. He would probably be the highest paid defensive player in the league. But, I can't have two defensive ends with huge contracts and he's only demanding like $30 million which is a bargain. I want to pay him some sort of amount that would be justifiable but not overkill. I'm thinking maybe $55 million? I really don't wanna have over $130 million invested in the defensive end position alone. I was looking around and there are only two teams, the Bills and Cardinals, that have over $100 million invested in defensive ends. It just seems like a bad idea.
