Why Not?

He played in a higher percentage of snaps than Uzomah, Hilton, Awuzie, Higgins, Ogunjobi, Hendrickson, Mixon, Wilson, Pratt, Reader, and Waynes.

Hendrickson’s cap hit is about 33% more, but he played 9.7% less. Waynes’ cap hit will be $15M although he played 50.9% less snaps.

Forget defense we are talking offense and understand priority positions which I am sure you do. It isnt snaps.

There is only so much money to be handed out.  I totally agree with the Rams and Chiefs who have been to 4 Super Bowls recently while we have done squat for 31 years until a few months ago:

Majority of funds to pay top notch positions for the Bengals in order:
QB, WR1, Oline is a mixture, WR2.   Thats it - pay studs at these spots and everything else is ok - any RB can run through open holes, any slot can catch a slant, and a decent TE - all 3 of these spots has hundreds of guys to choose from.  

Tell me where I am wrong.
