We don't have the Patriot's coaching staff.
Everyone focuses on Tom Brady, but the Patriots had the top-rated defense (By Points) in the league while still being 30th in cash spent. Patriots are also 5th in amount of cap space available.
The Patriots have 8 guys on their defense with a cap # over a million.
S/CB Devin McCourty is by far their highest paid defender with a cap number of 5 million this year.
I haven't busted out the calculator, but it appears that Houston and Berry make more than the entire Patriots' defense. Houston might make enough by himself.
