I found this very interesting...

A compilation of all professional sports teams in all sports around the world showing total payroll and average pay per player.

57th highest average pay per player, 139th total payroll (basketball teams have small rosters) and 27th in the NBA.

$70k a week sounds like a pretty solid wage to me.

I do not follow soccer or baseball so I was wondering, does it seem like the NFL has the least relation between pay and team performance to anyone else?

all nfl team have to at least pay the 89% salary "floor" (not in 2012 season but was in effect in 2011 and will be in 2013 and beyond) and the cap is a hard cap that teams can not go above .. so pay is going to be pretty much the same across the board
