It's official.

Bank on it, or, at least the Glazers bank on it. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have spent the LEAST amount of money on player payroll for the past five NFL seasons.

They're right there at the bottom: No. 32 of 32.

The total of $449 million earns them bottom honors per the survey put together by Jason La Canfora, formerly of the Washington Post, now with NFL.com. He reviewed the numbers provided by the NFL's Management Council.

Spending a lot of money doesn't always guarantee success. Witness the Dallas Cowboys in the top spot at $556.89 million. Seattle is second at $552.42 million, followed by the Redskins ($547.37), Colts ($532.77) and Vikings ($526.87).

Some familiar Super Bowl winners check in the top 10:  Pittsburgh is eighth ($516.69) and New England is 10th ($513.31). The New York Giants were pretty thrifty with $497.63 million.

The Bucs were outspent in the NFC South as well. The Saints were seventh ($518.49), Carolina was ninth ($516.04) and the Falcons were 22nd ($493.02). 

There you have it.

And how much are the Glazers spending on payroll for Manchester United?

Don't even ask.
