Every year when free agency rolls around there is a long list of players called "cap casualties", and still people here claim that every other team in the league signs and keeps every player they want under the cap.  How are both of those things true?

Somehow the bengals rarely seem to have “cap casualties” because they are too loyal.

While not the best, I’m pretty intelligent when it comes to this. If you can’t invest in a good OL… mixon and boyd have to go. Those are luxuries I guess a team with top 4 cap space can afford. I just find it hard to believe that this team couldn’t have done more last year.

Let’s say they signed thuney last year to the same contract the chiefs did (bengals probably would have had to pay more , if we are being honest)… do you not think the bengals could handle his 17m cap hit this year, or 19, 19.5 and 19.5 in future years?
