*Going into the 2022 offseason here are the teams with the most cap room
Miami Dolphins- $61 million
LA Chargers - $57 million
Jacksonville Jaguars - $56 million
Cincinatti Bengals - $48 million
NY Jets - $44 million
All of these teams have something in common, QB on rookie deals. The cap isn’t crap
Bottom 5 with cap room
KC Chiefs -$10 million
LA Rams -$8 million
TB Bucs -$9 million
NY Giants -$8 million
GB Packers -$6million
All in the negative according to spotrac.com and 4 out of the 5 made deep playoff runs last year.
My point of this is Good teams spend to the max while teams constantly picking in the top 10

Any of these guys that got signed stick out as bad signings? Obviously the big one that everyone is shitting on and not in the top 25 was Christian Kirk going to Jacksonville for 4 years $72 million. The Brandon Scherff to Jacksonville is my pick, guy has injury history getting 3 years at 31 or 32 years old for $49 is a lot.
