What I don't understand is why the Bengals don't ever seem to make an effort to restructure deals for underperforming players like Michael Johnson, Rey Maualuga, etc. if they really want to keep them around through the entirety of their contracts. This team has about $10 million in wasted cap space (at least) between Maualuga, MJ, and Adam Jones alone.
The best teams restructure deals nearly annually and cut dead weight to stay under the cap and continually improve their teams.
To boot, in one of his Hobson's choice responses, he talks about the need to get both Whit and Kirkpatrick re-signed. That most certainly is not happening for 15 million, no way no how, and absolutely not with Burkhead in the mix.
