Jason La Canfora reported that Tampa Bay $449 million, which includes gross totals spent on salaries and bonuses, over the past five seasons. That total is last in the NFL.
Conversely, Dallas lead the NFL with $566.89 million spent during that time frame, while Seattle is second ($552.42 million), followed by Washington ($547.37 million).
