Lions Copy Packers' Roster Blueprint

Both teams lead the NFC North in total spending, with nearly identical allocations to rookies and veterans, blending future draft picks with veteran talent. Green Bay, with a head start since 2018, has refined its balanced, position-group-focused approach, especially investing heavily in its defensive line.
