Top cap hit for the high 3 defenders: Lawrence $20M, Jaylon Smith $12M, and Crawford $8M. That is 40 Large for those three.
I did not look up the actual numbers but these are probably good approximations.
Yep. The top defensive cap players are wildly underperforming their cap hits.
Defensive 3mil and Up crowd
Top 4 dline - Lawrence, Crawford, Griffen, Poe.
LBs - Jaylon, Lee+, LVE+
DBs - Brown+, Worley
+ - injured and out
Lawrence is playing the best of them, but about at Armstrong's level, while making about 20 times what he does.
Jaylon stepped it up against the Falcons, though. That was a big need. Hope he can keep it up.
Poe got a bit better. He's one of the higher cap hits. Need him to give us more too. We're in bad shape at DT.
Griffen is still underperforming too.
The defense is going to be a work in progress, and I bet big fatty Poe was the most harmed in his preparation by the lack of training. I expect him and Griffen will continue to improve.
