He's considered cheap when it comes to outside FAs.

For 2019, the Bengals are spending the following on outside FAs:
Miller - $5.3 mill
Webb - $3 mill
Wynn - $1.3 mill
Cooper - $0.72 mill
Jerry - $0.65 mill
Perine - $0.65 mill
----------------------
$11.6 mill total

Given the max salary cap this year is $196.1 mill, the Bengals are spending just under 6% of its cap on outside FAs.
However, they have spent 92.6% of their total salary cap this year, showing that they do spend overall.

Isn't the spending floor like 88%? The NFL legislated that in so teams have to spend.
