saphead Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Only 2.4 BILLION huh. If the ball bounces a little different and we win 2 of those SB's who knows how the trajectory of this franchise would've changed. Maybe WE would've had a nationwide bandwagon fan base and people across the world are waving little orange towels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're only barely behind Buffalo, who is supposed to have one of the top fan bases. Why would anybody be surprised that we're anywhere near the bottom when we're a small market. Also, I thought everybody was complaining about Mike Brown making too much money. Now he doesn't make enough? The "fans" here love to post anything they dig up that they think makes the team look bad. Like we don't get enough of that daily from the media. I really think that some members here think that Mike Brown reads these posts and they can guilt him in to stepping down. Even though it is obvious that he already has as far as football operations. Or he miraculously decided to start spending a lot of money in FA the last 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo has an old stadium and none of the "help" the Brown family negotiated with the City of Cincinnati/Hamilton County. The Pegulas are currently working on a new stadium deal and threatening to move the team. Sound familiar? I entirely disagree that Mike Brown has stepped away from football operations. It appears that is all that he does. The family takes care of all the daily operating issues while Mikey still gets involved in personnel decisions. Brown has to sign FAs. The salary cap floor is $180M. The Bengals are at $182M. The new NFL rules do not allow a team to not spend money. Only five teams have spent less money than the Bengals so far in 2021. From how I read it the Jags and Panthers are going to have to find a way to spend some money this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would apply to threats to move the Bengals elsewhere. It's not really a threat anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
