They intentionally try to avoid dead money. And they don’t like paying guys who are not playing. If that’s how they want to run their business I have no problem with it.
Their cap spend is up there. You can’t really call them cheap. They are not followers.
Just because my neighbor Jerry Jones went and bought a brand new 100k car at a 7% interest rate and traded in his old car he still owed a bunch of money on and is now paying 1,500 a month for the next 8 years doesn’t make me cheap because I was able to pay cash after trading in my fully paid off old car.
But when we just watch the Eagles decimate the Chiefs and every media pundit is praising and marveling how they pack they're roster. So what's it called when we don't follow that? Cheap or dumb? Feels like it's one of the two if not both. Whatever the reason is cheap or not we are limiting the talent we can add to the roster. At a time we have a lot of talent we need to add and have a championship opportunity with the talent we do have. It just doesn't make sense. But why the Bengals aren't going to win.
