We didn't pay Bates because we had to pay Tee. We aren't paying Tee because we have to pay Chase.
Meanwhile we sit there still with the tenth most cap space in the league (20 million) and 60 million next year (not counting this years rollover).
If you really want to get pissed off look at the numbers for 2026. We currently have 2 guys signed making more than 10 million with a projected 235 million in cap space. You're telling me the Bengals can't make that extension work? Riiiiiight.
Plus, we didn't pay Reader. Or Bell. Or Hurst. Or a top tier IOL the last couple years. And we never spend to the cap. $10 mil in carryover.
All-in is not in Mike's vocabulary.
