We have however probably had a much higher allocation for LBs than other teams. Lots of factors play into this such as experience of each unit.
I think that $17-20M per year is probably the top line limit we could afford for WRs untder the current cap and I would think the lower side of that is probably right. That is why I think it will be very hard to keep both Brown and Wallace and still have viable #3 and #4 receivers past next year unless those guys are very young.
It would be interesting once the final 53 is determined how much we have tied up by positional unit. Anyone want homework?
