Frenzy Salary Analysis

[Preds]

I thought y'all might find this interesting... I did a little anaylsis on the league salaries, and I think it shows some interesting things. Both active roster and DS players are integrated together into the tables below.

#1, I think our rookies are now appropriatly paid. Look at the salary rankings, for the most part I think the scale hit things dead on.

#2, I think it's real interesting to look at the numbers for where and what players are paid, and their percentage by position against the cap for both starters and backups. Note that the averages and cap %'s are lower than they will be when the RFA and UFA periods all shake out, but the numbers are an interesting study nonetheless!

BTW, you can find these tables listed on the summary tab below all the team rosters.

Enjoy!

Nice work. Some interesting numbers as it seems like rookie salaries are definately more in line with the rest of the salaries being offered on the open market. Will be interested to see how it develops are the next couple of years.
