Just 5 years ago the Bengals valuation was at $2b according to Forbes.

Now they have it at $4.1b.
Between valuation and actual profits, that $500m today becomes you losing >$50m per year for the rest of time in less than a decade.
Besides, it's not like the Browns/Blackburns don't have money. They are just cheap, there's a difference.
The Bengals FO is lost somewhere in the late 60s through 80s. I honestly believe the team, the city, the fans would all be better off with new owners who want to win at all costs. The Bengals want to do it their way which has proven not to work their entire existence. If not for Joe Burrow they would'nt be selling out every game. They actually gained fans because of Joe & Chase. Just because you have money does'nt mean you have brains for the business. The Bengals are only here because of Paul Brown's football brain, no other person in that family is anywhere near Paul when it comes to that. They're all lawyers.
