Also, consider the guy right above me posted a picture of Mike Brown in a thread about paying a player it would seem it was 100% insinuated he was being cheap. So yes, still to this day the narrative of the Bengals being “cheap” has referenced player spending and it is false.

To the floor comment, the difference between the Bengals spending and the 32nd team was about 80 million dollars. That isn’t chump change even in the “floor” system and shows that they are spending substantially more than the lowest spending teams.

99% of the people who consider the Bengals to be cheap are talking about all of the above, and not just player spending.  I'm sure if you were to poll any number of the "haters" on here about whether they're basing their opinion on what I detailed or what player spending they're going with the former.
