After big spending, are the 49ers better?

While I was scrolling through Twitter yesterday, I came across this nugget from the always insightful Warren Sharp.

so far, 11 of the top 15 spenders in free agency are from the AFC:

1. NE $245M
3. JAX $143M
4. TEN $112M
5. CIN $109M
6. NYJ $95M
9. LAC $84M
10. KC $80M
12. HOU $49M
13. BAL $45M
14. LV $44M
15. CLE $42M

top NFC spenders so far:

2. SF $156M
7. TB $88M
8. WAS $85M
11. DET $54M— Warren Sharp (@SharpFootball) March 18, 2021

As Warren has pointed out, the 49ers have spent more money in free agency than any other team.
