I'm actually curious what NFL team has the most 10 million+ per players on their roster right now and how many players are fit under it
No you cannot.

So is it more valuable to have a Safety that's 20% better than league average, a DT that's 15% better than league average or a LT that's 5% better than league average? (ed. note: all numbers culled from my ass, but they feel about right).

For my money, give me the LT and the DT in that order.

You can't keep everybody. Now you backload heavily under the thought that Bray, Hogan or Murray will be able to supplant Smith and you can get his money off the cap in a year or two, but whoever takes over for him will need a new deal shortly thereafter.

There just aren't easy answers here and anyone that makes the same tired old "the cap is easy to get around if you're not a cheap asshole like Clark Hunt" argument just doesn't really get how the cap works. It's easy to abuse it for 2 or 3 years, but you'll pay the piper for it in very short order.
