Heck, maybe if they spent less on players they’d paid for all those things Wes was complaining they didn’t have.
What a load of bologna. They need to spend less on players to pay for things ever other single team in the league has? Especially considering they enjoy a stadium deal that is better than 90% of the league?
How does Pittsburgh do it? Kansas City? Buffalo? Green Bay? Tennessee? Indy? Cleveland? Carolina? Minnesota? etc.......
The Bengals are 100% cheap. You can't save an absolute bundle on stadium expenses, and also skimp practice facilities, your front office, your scouting department, ammentites, and point to the fact that you're average in player spending and wash all of that away.
I GUARANTEE if you were able to pull the overall TOTAL expenses paid out for each NFL team over the last decade plus the Bengals are at or near the bottom. If they're not sitting absolute dead last, they're awfully close. What else can you base being cheap on if not dollars spent?
