Don’t worry the new NFL contract has many changes to the rules for players and owners. The Bengals HAVE to spend that money. They can extent contracts for some of their current players, sign free agents. Because the amount of money for drafted players is automatic for all of them based on where are drafted. Yes, they HAVE TO SPEND THAT CAP MONEY on players this year. How they are going to do that should be interesting, but they can not put it in their pocket…

Headline : “Bengals lead the way in cap space….”

Then you tell us the Denver has the most cap space, with the Bengals second.

Which is it ?

Bengals or Broncos ?

Actually, we have 4 AFC Confrence championship trophies, from 4 consecutive years. You know, those games you could never win to make it to the Superbowl? I’ll take the Lumps of losing 4 straight Superbowl games, but for a fan of a team who hasn’t won anything in the modern age of Football to prop up his team as being very good at something is pathetic. BTW, Bengal fans, I’m on board with the saving money stuff, Dalton and Green will eat up half that cap space by themselves in a year or two, not to mention having 2 1st’s to worry about paying in the future as well.

I think the Bengals should have paid up to get Vincent Jackson. They need a big-bodied versatile receiver to play opposite to AJ Green. It would definitely take some heat off Mr. Dalton as well.

“Mike Wallace wouldn’t help Dalton and Green?”
———————————————————–

RFA signings are rare. The Bengals would have to shell out $8+ million dollars per year and the Steelers could simply match the offer, allowing the Bengals to do all the work of negotiating with the player….

I don’t think that argument is there that Wallace wouldn’t help any team, but at a huge salary and a forfeited 1st round pick, you have to weigh the upside and downside of any deal.

The only teams that still may be in play for him would be the Patriots or Broncos with their cap space and lower first round picks…. but neither of those organizations would make a deal with his demands and the fact that the steelers could wiggle out more cap space and match the offer.

Why overpay when there is a good chance he will be a UFA next year anyways?

Johnnyb-
Are you insinuating that people fear the bengals?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The way EVERYONE talks about the eagles is proof they fear them. I can’t wait for “your” bengals to step foot in the linc this season…it’s gonna be a loooong day for you buddy. As you can see from last years results, just because you go out and sign the farm, it doesn’t mean you’ll be any good. The birds had a helluva offseason and when they sign shady it will be a complete success…see you in philly brother! And to the bills fan who is talking about empty trophy cases..wow. Your boys lost 4 in a row with arguably the BEST roster ever. Sucks.

Listen to all the hate in the room for my Bengals… I like it when people start to hate you is when you have people respecting you.. These Philly fans are mad nobody hates them. Nobody fears them either.

“Now, I know I shouldn’t throw stones, but I’m sure others will agree…. Does the award for most cap space fill up a trophy case like a Lombardi? Well, actually, I don’t think you would know that, sorry.”

Wow a Bills fanstalking about empty trophy cases? Really? LOL

At least the Eagles have three NFL titles, all the Bills have are hairy cheerleaders, the crappy side of the falls and very little reason to live.

The Jaguars are addressing needs and resigning players as needed have 2 major positions to address in the draft like teams are supposed to do instead of overpaying for players.

and they can all thank the Redskins and Cowboys for the extra 1.6 million or whatever. You’re welcome.

atleast they are competitive and well within the “spirit of the system.” I do wonder how much better they would be with just a couple more additions and little more of the cap spaced used up.

Bengals have lots of cap space because they keep all the money stashed in their shoes.

As mentioned before, if they abide by the salary floor next year, they will be able to lock up their young talent to extensions. Dalton, Green, Atkins, Dunlap, Gresham.

Sounds smart to me.

Oh wait, you mean they didn’t just win the “My team just wasted money on marginal talent in free agency Bowl”?

Shocker .

they will have to spend it next year according to the new CBA .

they have a talented roster . i think they got lucky with there picks considering they never had any scouts . they add a few pieces to it they may surprise this season .

it sucks as i am a life long die hard Browns fan . i know we will be in last again this season . the AFC North is the toughest division in the NFL . hard to climb out of that cellar .

You can see the teams that want to spend win games. Look at that list of teams with the most cap space… they are all terrible.

Bengals probably also lead the way in Pro Bowlers under 25 with Dalton, Green, Gresham & Atkins. Throw in Dunlap, Shipley, & 2 1st round picks and you’re talking about a team with young talent AND plenty of cap space to push into later years to keep this talent in house. No big cap busting signings. Just solid deals keeping the ability to sign the core youngsters to long term extensions later on. Have to imagine AJ’s 2nd contract will have to match Calvin Johnsons mega deal. Daltons deal will be up @ the same time. Cincy could build a really nice core if it plays its cards right in the next 2-3 years.

Your viewpoints is correct and right on the money. once again, Mike Brown is doing outstanding job.

I love it how people who know nothing about the team make the dumb comments. The Bengals have to have money to sign their young stars, Dalton, Green, Gresham, Dunlap, and Atkins, to big extensions. They are planning for the future.

By: whodey1218

whodey1218 — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 02:22:17 +0000

Are you all stupid we have high cap because we not spending that much on our 1st string qb, wr when it comes time to sign them we are all going to need that money to lock up our good young players like Carlos Dunlap, Geno Atkins, Andy dalton, aj green who will want Calvin Johnson money so when it comes time to sign them I just hope we have enough to sign them. Coming from a bengals fan. WHO DEY!!

Its not even that much. $8 million is for the draft that leaves $12 million With that $12 million they will still fix a hole or 2 after the draft plus they should leave about $4 million just in case of injury. So just with the draft and the insurance money the bengals only have $8 million of cap space.

Mike Brown, In the past, I have been very critical of your cheap spending ways. But, I have to applauded your latest management of free agency moves. You’re doing a great job. Actually, outstanding job! Yes, I’ve said it. I still think Katie has a lot to do with it. Go Bengals!
