So based on this, they must have spent over the normal cap in 2015 and 2016 because the rolled over amount decreased.

Fred actually is right that they have been spending over the normal cap amount the past two years. The Bengals' problem is that they overspend that extra cap money on poor performance like Rey Maualuga to get over that normal cap. They Bengals haven't necessarily been cheap the past two years, they've just been dumb with how they spend their money.

What, you mean you don't think that making Peko have the 11th highest DT cap hit in 2014, Rey Maualuga have the 6th largest cap hit among inside LB in 2015, and Michael Johnson having the 21st highest cap hit among DE in 2016 was a smart and competitive way to reach the cap?
