Is MB Cheap really?

Brown certainly cuts corners, but the fact remains that the Bengals are a bottom three team in total revenue.  It's hard to argue that one of the poorest teams in the league should be spending even with the teams that are middle of the pack in revenue.  Then you run into the catch 22 argument of "if Brown spent more in FA, the team would win more, but good FA's don't want to come here because of the history of losing."  

The league also has revenue sharing. With modern day media options the number one goal is to run a successful, competitive franchise. Do that and fans from all over the world will flock to the team. The Seahawks, Saints, and Patriots were terrible in the 80’s and 90’s save for a couple of seasons. Build a solid, winning franchise, and voila, fans coming out of the woodwork. Mike Brown is too cheap to try to build a top tier organization.
