How to read this chart
The skyline above:
one building per position group, as tall as the cap hit (this season's salary-cap charge) Ravens spend on it, on the same scale as every other team. Lit windows are the share of that money on players who are actually on the field; dark windows are injured or idle money.
The cards below:
the same money in numbers. The bar fills with the share on the field, and "in spend" ranks the team among all 32 for that group.

How to read the contract tables
One row = one contract.
2026 cap hit, average per year and years left.
Paid / played bars:
the gold bar is where his pay ranks among players at his position across the league, the green bar where his play ranks (EPA, expected points added, for QB, RB, WR, TE; share of snaps for everyone else). Full bar = top of the league.
Gap:
played rank minus paid rank, in percentile points. Positive (green) means he gives more than he costs; negative (red) means the opposite.
