4 players = 400+ million for Bengals

Then the next 6 guys average around 12 million (and Trey is excluded and he was over 40 million when he signed in 2023 the extension) so minimum of 475 million in our top 10 as well which puts us close or above others you mentioned.

 I just don't see we are much lower in guarantees when all of them are counted like was said earlier by another poster that we were the worst. Not even close to being the worst.

I would argue some teams you listed are very poor managing money as well like the Dolphins who zilch to show for that huge spend in guarantees. Simply, it is one piece of the puzzle. I believe in effeciency. One issue we have is our drafts have been poor, this has caused us effeciency in every way.

Check the post holmes. That is the top 300 players, with the highest amount of guaranteed money. Across the board. There were only 4 Bengals in the top 300 while the other teams had more. 

I'm not sure why you keep thinking i'm trying to skewer stats. I'm about as honest a person as you will find, so when i post something, there's zero chance that it's meant to mislead or deceive. 

The point of this exercise was to show different teams and how many of their players were in the top 300 of guaranteed money and how much it was. It would be nice if it was sortable by team or by team totals, so that we could see where the Bengals rank overall for all guaranteed money but i don't know that it does that. I counted each team manually going through the top 300 each time. 

It can be sorted manually any way you want. I just chose to only look at the top 300, and for the teams i chose. The link will allow you to go there and do any type of research you choose. 

I don't disagree that some teams spend poorly. I'm just pointing out that when it comes to guaranteed money, the Bengals don't like to do it, whereas a lot of the other "top teams"--teams that want to compete for a SB, do it because they feel it's necessary to field a competetive team.
