The small teams could not compete financially. It has nothing to do with the cheapness of owners. That is just your opinion.

You misunderstood what I was saying. You are referring to the salary cap as a maximum. I'm referring to the minimum salary cap which mandates that teams must spend at least a certain amount on salaries. Because of that the Bengals had to raise their salary spending. The Bengals weren't the only team the union was complaining about.

The maximum salary cap came first, the minimum salary spending came later.
