Good lord the Bengal formula works, generally because they don't overreach in free agency with the "unknowns". They prefer to develop and retain talent whenever possible. The consistent extra cap rollover validates their approach because they're not wasting money on non-productive players.
Geez, it's really not that difficult to understand. It's like making sound personal investments, you don't invest in things that depreciate to build your success. Well spent money makes more money, or in this case allows you to make more smart investments.
He does understand how it works. The less spent on the "work force" the more the owner keeps. It is that simple. Some on here would like to make it more complex but that is the net sum of it.

The link above (from the same source already used) shows that once again the Bengals are in the top 10 in cap space (ie...money not spent). Take a look at the teams in the top 10...none were contenders.
The real issues is teams like the 49er's and the Giants will fix the issue and spend on players that will give them the depth necessary to truly compete. They do not live in the "top 10 in UNSPENT cap" year after year...the Bengals do. Hence one huge reason they have the longest playoff win drought in the league. Do you really think it is just happenstance all the teams in the top 10 in UNSPENT cap combined for ZERO playoff wins?? SMFH!
No matter how you would like to spin it. Temas that bank payroll do not have a very good success rate in terms of championships. Fact!
