I know many don't like to discuss cap space, but it can be a burden to adding or keeping our own guys. Here is a link to an update and you will find the Bengals do spend and have spent.

IN fact, we are down to 6.3 million left with guys like AJ M. only making $650K making him by far least expensive solid back up QB in the NFL contract ending in 2018 or 2019, Eifert coming up, Hill (may be cut) and others it shows the complexity of keeping a solid roster, yet doing it financially responsible.

Bengals do spend on player salaries. But they also make some spending decisions that leave one puzzled.

It's also hard to forget the years and years where the Bengals were one of the lowest spending teams in the league. Mike Brown was one the principle owners the union complained about when they demanded minimum salary cap spending. Mike Brown spent years earning his "cheap" reputation.
