For the Browns, who are second from the bottom of NFL owners in terms of wealth, the bottom line is always key. They are not independently wealthy from oil or other businesses like most of the other owners. The Bengals franchise is their business.
[See list of owners and their wealth on this page: http://thebengalsboard.com/Thread-Glass-Half-Full-or-Half-Empty?page=3]
Other owners, such as the superrich Rams owner (who also is married to a superrich Walmart heiress) and Robert Kraft and Jerry Jones, run their teams concerned about increasing the value of their franchise and the prestige of being owners of an NFL team. A particular year's profit doesn't mean nearly as much to them as it does for the Browns, for whom the Bengals is their livelihood.
That is a big reason that Bengals fans are concerned about the finances of the franchise. To be successful, we need the Browns to want to spend every penny possible. So saving every penny from bad contracts does impact us directly as fans.
