Since the Bengals last playoff win...

We had arguably a Top 3 roster that year.

Instead of doing that, they tout that the cap will remain clean for upcoming seasons. That's great! Now our 6 win team won't have to shed players in a salary cap purge.

The other side of the not spending is the fallacy that other teams go through 'cap hell'. I just don't see it. Maybe occasionally a team has to waive a few underperforming guys...but teams like the Steelers and Patriots did a lot of signing this offseason.

To extend players that we wind up letting walk anyway.  It's maddening.

To the last sentence....isn't it amazing?  Wonder how they do that?   Frugality, and "loyalty" is what kills this franchise in the end.
