Normally, Hobson would spout off reasons why the full $43 million cannot be spent. This time, he just flat out says "Bengals can only spend X" and leaves it at that. Probably because he knows giving any kind of reasoning will be ridiculed. We all know how the breakdown should be and that the Bengals should have somewhere in the low $30 millions to spend. Saying only $15 million is immediately saying this franchise is not going to win a playoff game.

It really sucks when your love is used against you.  That's what being a Bengals fan is.  They just think we're ***** idiots.  In a way, I guess we are.

Where'd the rest of the money go?
