Just because the Bengals don't use it this year doesn't mean they won't use it eventually when those players do get signed. It's a big reason the Browns are going into the season with almost 40 million cap space. They need to roll that over because their cap hits go up next year.

The concern isn't so much the Burrow/Higgins get away. We have organizational control of each for 4/3 more years. It's that that money was set aside for their contracts THIS year. Rolling it over to next year means leaving money on the table this year that could have helped us win games.  

Winning the Super Bowl is the goal. Not using all our assets to achieve it would be a failure. Duke said we were gonna spend to the cap. We are currently $20 mil below it. 

Now, this isn't over yet, and I am not panicking or anything, justctrying to explain my issue to you, since you seem to have missed the point the first time.
