The NFL free agency period always sees players swap and change teams, often for absurd amounts of money. The season was no different as the cash flowed regularly.
With all of the offseason moves, just which teams spent the most during the free agency period?
SK takes a look at the five highest-spending teams in NFL free agency.
# 5- Los Angeles Chargers - $142,337,500
The Chargers went all in on defense in the free agency period. Signing former Patriot J.C. Jackson to a five-year, $82.5 million deal and Khalil Mack to a three-year, $63.9 million deal.
In total, the Chargers signed eight players in the free agency period as they look to build a star-studded defense to help out Joey Bosa. The Chargers have a scary defense heading into the new NFL season.
# 4 - New York Jets - $148,895,000
This is, somewhat, surprising as the Jets have flown under the radar. Like the Chargers, New York signed eight players. Laken Tomlinson signed a three-year, $40 million deal, and tight end CJ Uzomah signed from the Bengals to a three-year, $24 million deal.
Safety D.J. Reed was added to a three-year, $33 million deal, and Tyler Conklin was signed from the Vikings to a three-year, $20.25 million deal to help out young quarterback Zach Wilson.
The top five highest-spending NFL teams in free agency continued.
# 3 - Miami Dolphins - $157,132,500
The Dolphins signed 11 players and have put some serious weapons around Tua Tagovailoa. After struggling early last season, Miami finished strongly, winning eight of their last nine games.
The franchise has added star tackle Terron Armstead, Tyreek Hill, Chase Edmonds, Cedric Wilson, Roheem Mostert, Connor Williams, and Teddy Bridgewater in a very busy period for first-time head coach Mike McDaniel.
# 2 - Buffalo Bills - $165,815,000
The Bills are the second-highest spenders this offseason, having added 13 players. Most of the franchise's money has gone on signing two-time Super Bowl champion Von Miller to a six-year, $120 million deal.
Other notable acquisitions for the Bills include tight end O.J. Howard from Tampa, Jamison Crowder and defensive tackle DaQuan Jones.
# 1 - Jacksonville Jaguars - $262,770,000
The Jaguars have been the biggest spenders, adding 11 players to their roster. The franchise has added pieces on just about every line as new coach Doug Pederson looks to improve on last season's poor showing in his first year.
Notable signings include Christian Kirk from Arizona on a four-year, $72 million deal, linebacker Foyesade Oluokun (three-year, $45 million deal), Brandon Scherff (three-year, $49.5 million deal), Foley Fatukasi (three-year, $30 million deal) and Darious Williams (three-year, $30 million deal).
The Jaguars have loaded up in NFL free agency this offseason and are the biggest spenders by a wide margin.
