Wes Mantooth with the most accurate assessment of Mike Brown I’ve ever seen.
See, I don't think it's really a money issue. I think it stems more from stubborness than cheapness. Convincing Mike Brown to build a practice facilty is like convincing your old aunt Ester that using a Roku or a FireStick with Youtube Live or HuluTV is better than keeping cable package she never negotiates, and only uses to watch 3 channels. Now you might think old Ester is cheap and doesn't want to buy the equipment, but at the same time she buys MyPillow's and all sorts of overpriced junk. The reason she's not switching has nothing to do with money, and everything to do her being old and set in her ways. Mike could overhaul his scouting department, and bring it up to the league average, with an investment of about 1 million dollars (12 additional scouts at 80k average). He could add a GM for about 2-3 million a year. For a total cost of under 5 million dollars he could have a perfectly modern, and acceptable front office. And while some may point to the 5 million as an extra expense, they need to remember better performance will bring in more money. Not to mention it saves you from buring money on players like Antonio Bryant, or Lavernous Coles, or AJ Green this year. The Bengals have an operating budget of well north of 225 million dollars a year. At 5 million, you're talking an increase of 2%. When you have empty seats, unsold luxury boxes, and lost revenue from merchandise and concessions, any normal business owner would consider the following investment miniscule if it were made in the hopes of more than paying for itself. I could be wrong. Maybe he is just cheap. But I think he's just a stubborn old man, just like his dad was. People hate to hear this, but Paul Brown was past his prime long before he came here. He's the reason the league unionized to begin with, because he too was old and stubborn, and coached like it was still the 40's. I think Mike is the same way. He wants to win his way. Winning his way is more important than simply winning. Saying he's cheap is too easy of an out. He's cheap like an old person is cheap, which just means not spending on anything they're not familair with. They'll spend 300% more on Tide detergent, and they'll keep both a house phone and a cell phone, but they'll approach the thought of buying a cell phone App for 1.99 like it's insane. tldr Mike = Your old Aunt Ester

See, to me the Browns gave up 3 years of #1 draft picks and The Browns lost on that one and Houston won on that trade.
