The link above (from the same source already used) shows that once again the Bengals are in the top 10 in cap space (ie...money not spent). Take a look at the teams in the top 10...none were contenders.
The real issues is teams like the 49er's and the Giants will fix the issue and spend on players that will give them the depth necessary to truly compete. They do not live in the "top 10 in UNSPENT cap" year after year...the Bengals do. Hence one huge reason they have the longest playoff win drought in the league. Do you really think it is just happenstance all the teams in the top 10 in UNSPENT cap combined for ZERO playoff wins?? SMFH!
No matter how you would like to spin it. Temas that bank payroll do not have a very good success rate in terms of championships. Fact!
What you linked does nothing for your arguement. Ok so we have a lot of cap space for 2016. We also have a lot of free agents. And we havent even started spending yet. How about those studs on the other end of the spectrum. The Ravens dolphins and saints dont have shit to spend and didnt even make the playoffs. We are considered by many to have one of the best rosters in the league. And we also have a ton to spend. This isnt a bad thing. Ask any NFL GM if they would like to have one of the best rosters and have more money to spend than most of the other teams. Common sense. There is no spin on my end.
They do their job. We had a loaded team that played their ass off. They didnt hurt Dalton or make Joey porter go on the field and the refs give our playoff win away.
And like I said earlier. If they wanted to keep the money they wouldnt roll it over. They dont have to roll anything over. And if Iloka would have signed the extension we offered last year we wouldnt be rolling over nearly as much if any.
Simple shit here guys. At least complain about something that makes sense.
