That is a link to the Bengals cap info. I want you to total the NFL salary cap from 2012-2016, the Bengals adjusted salary cap from 2012-2016, and the Bengals total cap from 2012-2016. You should have three sums to compare. Once you're done, tell me if you notice anything. Especially the discrepancy between the Bengals adjusted salary cap and the Bengals total cap (cash spent.). Also, tell me what the trend is between the Bengals adjusted cap and total cap; increasing or decreasing.
The Bengals are rolling over $6.6 million, but they have squandered roughly $37 million of their adjusted salary. Because the salary cap allows them to prorate the money over future years. By not paying that money to the players, where do you think it ends up? In their pockets. They're skimming. It's salary cap three card Monty.
I went to the link and did not see these numbers you are calling "total cap" and "adjusted cap"
If you want to make a point you should do the math and show what you mean. What is the difference between "total cap" and "adjusted cap".
I am not trying to argue just to argue. I just want to see the math. If the Bengals cap goes up due to rollover then that rollover continues each year. Otherwise there would be zero roll over as soon as the Bengals did not use all of their previous cap space. That is what Whatever originally said, and that just is not true.
Prorating bonus money has nothing to do with skimming because the Bengals have already paid that money. What money are you claiming they are "not paying the players"?
