Brown Family/Bengals Finances

[wcu]

Surely Mr. Brown has secured the best estate planning possible, and I'd be surprised if the NFL didn't ensure they had an iron clad succession plan in place. The management of his estate as it applies to the team is somewhat less worrisome than potential cash flow issues that could arise.

I do certainly think the Bates-non-extension could be an indicator. Not only are there salary cap consequences, but they've got to have enough operating capital in just a few years to pay out several massive, potentially guaranteed contracts and still have enough left over to run the business. Again, surely they're already making contingencies for such a situation.
