Majority of contracts are back loaded. The Bengals just pretend that players need front loaded contracts in order to sign so they can use up their cap space on crappy/mediocre players.

Look at a bunch of contracts. The vast majority will have much bigger cap hits in the last two years than the first two. Unless by up front, you mean signing bonuses, but that doesn't matter for cap space since it's prorated throughout the length of the contract.
