“‘Before the Bernard deal, spotrac.com had the Bengals about $7,000 over the $166 million salary cap. In order to extend Bernard and Shawn Williams, they have dipped into their annual rollover from the cap.”

How many times have they dipped into that fund though? Does one extension justify the previous 4-5 years of rolling back?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
