I take exception to this blatant lie.  Hobson never said this.  Here is the exact quote where he claims (correctly) that we have only left $10 million on the table.

According to their calculations, the Bengals have been under the salary cap by about $10 million total over that entire time period. A remarkable feat for anyone that's done a budget. To put that in perspective since the advent of the cap, the total salary cap during that period of time for each team has been more than $1.5 billion. So that means that the Bengals have spent about $1.49 billion and have been at the cap essentially every year.
