The Brown family needs to strike while the iron is hot. The returns on a Super Bowl ring will make anything else look like chump change.

They just have never tried to do anything even remotely outside of the shared revenue from the NFL box. The shared income has always been plenty enough for the Bengals org and those that run it to continue on through life comfortably.
I wonder if the mindset of not efforting is because of the shared income? I would imagine that, yes, the Bengals brass never needed to kill it on the local level due to the national money being shared, but now they feel the heat.
Here is a link simply breaking this down. It will be interesting to see what the Bengals do from a work perspective now that they actually need more money to compete.....

Yes to both of you. The franchise is worth 2.8 billion, which isn't chump change, but it's also the lowest valued franchise in the NFL.
