You claimed that cap values were more accurate on what a team was spending than "cash spent". I used the dead money issue to prove how wrong you were.

The NFL salary cap last year was $143.3 million. The Bengals were able to spend OVER that cap amount ($146.5) because they had rolled over cap space from the year before. That also explains why the Bengals were not able to roll over as much this year as they did last year.
And finally, rolling over cap space is voluntary. This year the Broncos, Saints, and Rams all chose pocket money instead of rolling it over as cap space.
