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.

I am not "Obfuscating" anything.  I am just pointing out that the Bengals are not a cheap team when it come to paying their players.

There are people on here who think the Bengals are always at the top of the league in unused cap space and that is not true.

There are people where who think the Bengals pocket all the cap space they don't use and that is not true.

Everyone needs to look at the numbers and see what all the other teams in the league do instead of just bashing the Bengals for being cheap.  Since you are such an expert on this then give me a list of all the NFL teams that use all their cap space every year.

And the offer to Whitworth was about years not total salary.  So cap space had nothing to do with that.
