Big market teams get FAs easier and cheaper than small market teams because they know they have a better chance of winning a championship. I believe that the NFL needs to move the free agent signing period until after the draft. This way the weaker teams could see after the draft what exactly their needs were . This would keep the teams who know how to manipulate the salary cap from taking advantage of those who don't. Being able to pay players when they no longer on the team defeats the whole point of the salary cap.
Blah, blah, blah.
Green Bay is the universe's smallest market and that doesn't seem to stop them from contending. Pittsburgh is also a small market, as is Jacksonville and Nashville. All of those teams have gotten further than the Bengals over the past 28 years.
A team can build a larger fan base by winning a championship and contending for championships, and thus have more revenue, more fans attending road games, sold out home games.
The Bengals get all the money they need to cover salaries and expenses from the revenue sharing check they get each year.
Really, it is the piss poor run teams that players don't want to go to and the Bengals are at or near the top of the suck ass owner list.
