People that hate on the Bengals don't really look at what all the other teams do.  Eight teams rolled over more money than the Bengals this year.  While the Bengals only rolled over $7.5 million three other teams rolled over more than $20 million.

You took a small part of my post and then try to make a point that I wasn't arguing. I gave the Bengals credit for doing well with not messing up their cap. At the end of my post, I said I would just like for them to spend more than constantly rolling over money.

That's great for 8 other teams. The problem is, I'm a Bengals fan. I don't care what those 8 other teams do. Also, I am far from hating on the Bengals. I gave them credit in my post. I said it would just be nice to spend more of their available cap. Why do the Bengals consistently keep more money for draft picks than most other teams? Why do they keep more for injury contingency than most other teams? Why do 23 other teams rollover less cap money than the Bengals tend to do?

Asking the team to finally spend a little more is not the same as hating on them, bashing them, or anything of the sort. This team is close. Spending that extra $7.5 million could bring in a player that could help push them over the top. I don't understand why that's so horrible for me to ask because I want them to try and finally take that next step.

I'm not asking them to create dead money, I'm not wanting them to shell out bonuses and then have to pay those players when they're not even around, I'm not asking the team to sacrifice their cap management. I'm asking them to try and make the moves to win. That status quo is 1 and done. I want them to go out and try to get what it takes to win in the postseason.
