Here is how much each team spent from 2019 to 2023 on the team vs playoff success (1 pt for WC loss, 4 div loss, 8 cc loss, 13 SB loss, 20 for SB win). KC basically breaks the league. 2nd post will have the graph without KC. pic.twitter.com/CuVVZGpljK
Interesting. If you take the Chiefs out so the scaling comes back together and the graph actually works, there does appear to be a fairly linear positive correlation.
Wouldn't have guessed that. Always felt like to me that a lot of those high cash spending teams were squads like NOLA that had to fix their shit (and yes, there is NOLA and Cleveland with high spending and low performance due to catastrophically bad cap management). [Reply]

It's a somewhat misleading chart when you look at the x-axis scale. The salary cap makes it pretty tough to really spend much less than the average in the long run. [Reply]

Good point, looks like the Chiefs are only about 8 percent below the average, and that can be a function of contract structure and where players are in the cycle. [Reply]
Seems like it really shows the last 2 years to be outliers in terms of the Chiefs were winning with cheap rookies.
I'd expect the Chiefs to really start to spend more as it's pretty much the teams trying to win in that upper right, but drafting like the Chiefs have has been the big key. [Reply]

It also looks like teams that created 2 and 3 year windows for themselves in that top/right quadrant.
But in that regard this doesn't tell us anything we don't already know. [Reply]
We do engagement surveys from the corporation I work for. We only get about 25% participation because it's not manadatory. From what I've seen it's normally the fringes that participate in these surveys. The loudest minority of angry or happy people make the most impact in terms of having their voices heard. I wonder what the level of participation is for this survey. [Reply]

The NFLPA page about the survey says they got 1,706 responses. If you assume 53 active roster players plus 16 practice squad players across 32 teams, that's 2,208 active members at a given time, which suggests a response rate of around 75%.
I'm unclear whether inactive free agents could participate or not, but it generally seems like they got very high participation. [Reply]
