Currently, the Bengals and Vikings have nearly identical cap numbers after the Burfict extension.

IF you can get young talent, on rookie deals playing well...you are in great shape. How many good young players have we drafted over the past 5 years?
So in essence, the Vikings had to sign a number of Free Agents to Boost their Cap number up to match the Bengals Cap number ?
If this is correct, then the Bengals not Spending enough Money isn't really our problem.
We are Spending at a Competitive Rate but it is not being Targeted properly ?
