2018 Bengals used $180.3 million in cap space. That was 9th highest in the league and again more than the Steelers (by $20 million) and Pats (by $5 million).
Maybe the Bengals should invest more in the scouting department, but acting like they are "cheap" with players contracts so that they can maximize profits is just not true.
I Steelers didn't have the 22mil contract to Bell so they may have spent less. They constantly rework contracts to minipulate the cap which the Bengals never do.
