NFC West has $100 Million on IR

That is an astounding amount of money tied into players that aren't on the field on Sunday. That's nearly an entire team's budget.

Wonder how much it is team by team?

I guess no team from the NFC West can use injuries as an excuse for missing the playoffs.

I think the rams own 30 or 40 of that

I know for the Cardinals.

John Abraham 2,500,000 (Played 1 game)
Carson Palmer 17,125,000 (played 6 games)
Dockett 8,750,000 (played 0 games)
Washington 3,000,000 with 8,000,000 deferred (0 games)
Zastudil 1,252,500 (played 1 game)
Shaugnesy 1,625,000 (played 4 games)


Cardinals Total 34,252,500


On a side note, we are still paying the Turnstile Levi Brown 4.2 million this year..

That is an unreal amount of money lost to IR from the division. Not trying to start any conspiracy mumbo jumbo, but it is a rather crazy coincidence that the NFC West has had so many injuries this year.

There seems to be a strong West coast bias on injuries. Do you think Roger is behind it? Team Iro will say no of course.
:stirthepot: On a more serious note I don't recall so many big name guys getting hurt in the same division.

It's a conspiracy to make the NFC East relevant again.

Click to expand...

Sure they can...just not as an excuse to losing the division.

If the winner of the NFC West is the only team of the 4 playing in January then it's pretty easy to claim that injuries played a part in not picking up one of those 2 Wild Card spots.

Scruggs, Greg - $570,000
Taylor, Mike - $303,000

I left off signing bonus money so it would only include salaries and put bonuses in parenthesis as a variable, since I don't have the contract verbage, they may or may not get those bonuses.

$11,787,000 - $14,174,500 This is the range of salaries sitting on the Seahawks IR right now.

Not many big-ticket guys for Niners actually on IR...

Willis, Patrick ILB $6,863,000
Kilgore, Daniel C $1,022,57

...but there ARE guys who are not on IR and haven't played at all or very little.

Davis, Anthony RT $7,532,266 (JUST returned finally)
Dorsey, Glenn NT/DE $4,484,166
Bowman, NaVorro ILB $4,434,000
Smith, Aldon OLB $3,339,781
Brock, Tramaine CB $2,000,000 (just returned and is hurt again)
