Over the last three years the Bengals have been carrying between 4-5 million in dead cap. Then again they have also been consistently rolling over around 8 million each year. Make of it what you will.
Because the salary cap roll over era began after the new CBA and looking at two seasons which fit Fred's narrative instead of the total picture is myopic and misleading. If you or Fred do what I ask you'll notice a roughly $37 million discrepancy between what the Bengals spent and what they could have spent. Not the $6-8 million the Bengals won't use annually because there is a cumulative affect.
So why is there a $37 million discrepancy? If the players aren't getting that money and the Bengals aren't pocketing it, then where is the money going?
