Plus, Stadiums get corporate sponsorship and companies buy tickets, etc.
It's a pretty sweet gig.

I'd say the sweetest stadium deal in the NFL at least partially makes up for some of that. There is no excuse for Mike to spend less. He has the smallest FO and personnel department in the league, and the Bengals are the only team without a practice facility all their own. Other "small markets" don't let it keep them from operating like a legit NFL outfit, so why make excuses?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
