That means they have spent on average within about 1 million of the league cap each year.
You guys keep trying to act like the Bengals don't spend close to the league cap any year. That just is not true. As recently as 2019 the Bengals were 21st in amount of unused cap space.
In the first year of the CBA which allowed salary cap roll over, the Bengals rolled over $15M. The following season they spent more than the league salary cap because their ADJUSTED salary cap was $15M more.
When they have an adjusted salary cap $15M in excess of the league salary cap which one determines how much the Bengals have to spend, fred? The adjusted salary cap. You know this. So who gives a F if they spend over the league salary cap when they have an additional $15M from unused salary cap room from the previous season? That’s blatant obfuscation.
At the end of that season, they rolled over $8.5M. So they didn’t use all of the rollover. Because they continued to rollover. So they don’t spend 100% of their salary cap and claiming they do is false.
And you’ve already admitted the Bengals never exceed their adjusted salary cap pages ago.
Do you realize the Bengals rolled over $11.6M following the season they tried to low ball Whitworth? Just another example of the Bengals asking for a hometown discount when they could have afforded a player, but then they had no plan on how to use the cap savings so they just rolled it over for the sake of rolling it over.
