If you could create a team-based solely on contracts that offer the most bang for your buck, which ones would you choose?
Mike Tanier of Football Outsiders did just that, offering an all-value team of the league’s best deals (Subscription required).
Tanier’s team included one member of the Detroit Lions—defensive lineman Michael Brockers. In March, the 30-year-old veteran refused a pay cut from the money-tight Los Angeles Rams, so LA traded him to the Lions for a 2023 seventh-round pick.
The Lions inherited Brockers’ $8 million cap hit in 2021 but Detroit needed some immediate cap relief.
