I happened to read a Hobson article just after the extensions, and he said this in it :
"with deals rocketing the Bengals to No. 7 in cap spending for this season at about $186 million, according to various web sites" https://www.bengals.com/news/that-time-of-year
And that is true, as they are spending this season about $9 million over the the $177 mill season cap. But the current cap space (I am assuming) is from prior seasons carried over.
Another thing though is that the cap limit has been rising quite a bit last few years. 2015 $143 mill, 2016 - $155 mill, 2017 - $167 mill, 2018 - $177 mill. So next year it probably will go up somewhere near $8-12 million more.
Appreciate all the info. It really can be tough to keep up with the cap situations.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
