The people who argue the Bengals aren't cheap just don't understand contracts in today's world. Agents still view Bengals as "cheap" because they don't like to guarantee money in contracts when 3/4 of the league is doing it with regularity. The reason we got Hendrickson instead of bringing Lawson back for same aav was because of guaranteed money. Lawson signed with jets because they gave him much more security with way more guaranteed money. It turned out to be a great decision for him with his season ending injury he has alot more protection and guaranteed money in the contract he signed.
It's really not about spending money as all teams have to sign a bunch of guys to pretty big contracts. The Bengals are still one of most conservative teams when it comes to cap as well which also leads to "cheap" label.
