Of the top 300 players in the NFL, with the highest guarantees, the Bengals have:
1. Burrow - (#4) $219M
2. Chase - (#17) $112M
3. Higgins - (#110) $41M
4. Brown - (#169) $31M
Four players - $403M total with Burrow being more than half of that total. 

By contrast:
The Eagles have 11 players in the top 300 for a total of $589M.
The Chiefs have 9 players in the top 300 for a total of $502M. 
The Bills have 11 players in the top 300 for a total of $551M. 
The Ravens have 8 players in the top 300 for a total of $514M.

That's just a few teams that consider themselves SB contenders. 

What about a team like Detroit?
The Lions have 10 players in the top 300 for a total of $558M.

Miami?
The Dolphins have 7 players in the top 300 for a total of $412M

So, we've seen how the richie rich's live. What about the lowlifes that have no shot?

The NYG have 13 players in the top 300 for a total of $492M.

The lowest of the low...
The Titans have 9 players in the top 300 for a total of $393M.

Pretty easy to reason that if the Bengals are so low in cash and this list shows they're low compared to a small sample size of teams...they're probably near the bottom in total guaranteed money, i.e., CHEAP.
