The Buffalo Bills have a lot of money invested in their defensive line. Of their top 11 players in terms of salary-cap hits, six of them are either defensive ends or defensive tackles—or, in the case of newcomer Quinton Jefferson, both. That level of investment shows the importance of the positional group to the defense, but also shows just how much talent the Bills have along the line.
Sure, money spent doesn’t always mean that the funds were spent on a premium player (Langston Walker, anyone?), but it often is a good indication of how much deserving talent a team has at a particular position.
