Exactly. What I don't understand is why the Bengals don't ever seem to make an effort to restructure deals for underperforming players like Michael Johnson, Rey Maualuga, etc. if they really want to keep them around through the entirety of their contracts. This team has about $10 million in wasted cap space (at least) between Maualuga, MJ, and Adam Jones alone.

The best teams restructure deals nearly annually and cut dead weight to stay under the cap and continually improve their teams.
