For obvious reasons, the Seattle Seahawks were spending the most money in the NFL at the safety position in 2018, though Earl Thomas only played in four games and Kam Chancellor missed all of his final NFL season. As expected, the Seahawks saw a dip in that spending in 2019 thanks to Earl leaving to sign with the Baltimore Ravens and Kam taking his final vacation — though his $10 million in dead money and Bradley McDougald’s $4.7 million cap hit still puts Seattle in 16th place for safety spending.
