Yeah but theoretically billionaire owners (Bengals don't fit in this category) have more cash on hand and can give players more guaranteed money up front. The Bengals (apparently) don't have this kind of money just sitting in a bank account, so they have to give the money over the length of the entire contract and structure it within their financials. 

I say "apparently" because no one even knows how true this is. It's basically people speculating. If I were to guess, I would say the Bengals have a pretty hefty sum of money sitting in one of their bank accounts somewhere.
