Also Bengals do some kicking of the can down the road giving players huge bonuses immediately, then spreading the cap over year(s) down the road. It is why Geno had a huge dead money hit. So, Fred is right, Bengals have spent over the cap in some years (cash spend) so they are not pocketing money like some have suggested. 

I'm not sure if it was 100% of the excess cap, but here's the amount rolled over by year for as far back as I can find:
2020 rollover - $10.972 mill
2019 rollover - $10.247 mill
2018 rollover - $7.484 mill
2017 rollover - $11.583 mill
Avg - $10.0715 mill per year

Apparently you can't go back before that unless you are a premium member on Spotrac.
