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 don't you understand?  Spending money on non-productive players, just to be spending cap money, does not make you more successful.  You're assuming that by spending more money that you hit on the best players.  It's just doesn't equate to success like you indicate.  Denver is one of the rarities and it worked out really well for them with Demarcus Ware and Aquib Talib, but outside of Denver most free agents getting the big bucks don't pan out.  Using the the 49er's and Giants to prove a point unvalidates the point.  

The lack of playoff wins has nothing to do with unspent cap money, rather execution.  The fact that they (Bengals) are even in the playoffs consistently indicates they are successfully managing the business operations.  Playoff games are less than 10% of an NFL season.  If your consistent 90 plus percent of the time I'd say the formula works.  Unless you are a glass half empty person!
