If anyone thinks the Brown family would gladly give up their wealth in exchange for a championship I have some prime ocean front, mountain view property in Nebraska to sell you. lol
Which is what it boils down to. Lets say the ocean represents a championship. The Bengals dip their toe in the water. Some years they may dip their foot in. Some other teams like the Steelers dive in.
The Steelers paid DeCastro $10 million a year.
They extended Brown.
They extended Tuitt.
They extended Villaneuva.
They franchise tagged Bell.
They signed Haden.
The Bengals would have likely extended Brown OR Bell and maybe Villaneuva or Tuitt. They would have let DeCastro walk and not signed Haden.
