Used to be just injury pool, then draft picks got added in (at way more than they actually add to the cap) just when I got used to those two that add in this new made up number for dead money (what dead money it's the bengals who never cut anyone lol) along with PS players (really?! What other team makes excuses for not having enough money because those damn practice squad guys are so expensive? And seriously throwing out a salary that's slightly more than half a mil as an excuse why they won't sign most of our guys is a huge slap in the face...but I'm not even that mad because it's just so damn funny at this point. I keep expecting Ashton kutcher to jump out and tell me I've been punked
All you can do is laugh it off at this point. The funniest part is that there's a lot of folks who actually believe this stuff. Mainly because the Bengals are winning, so people start believing that avoiding FA's and being frugal are keys to success. The truth is that the Bengals have always been like that, even during the 90's. They just got better at drafting.
