Too poor?  

 

Anyway, it's a business.  Any owner would and should take pause before agreeing to pay maybe 20 million more, per year, for one guy on one of the worst Defenses in the league.

 

Throw out the publicly owned Packers, and the Bengals are the only NFL team whose owner is not a billionaire with a net worth of $925Mil. When they give Burrow or Higgins’s a big contract, all that guaranteed money, hundreds of millions of dollars, has to be placed in escrow. They have a cheap mindset, but there is also the practical/financial side of things….they have limitations other teams do not.

Bills do not have the space for Hendrickson, at least they don’t unless they move some real salary/cash spend off their books. The Bengals probably won’t trade him to anyone, but there’s almost zero chance it would be to the Bills if they did. They’re the Bengals. They’re going to make him play out his deal or retire. 

 

Mike Brown is about making money, not winning. That’s what everything he does is about. He has to spend up to the cap floor and do enough to keep the fans engaged, but he’s not going to do much more than that.

teams, which clear 30, 40, 100+ million a year (ever increasing, given the guaranteed cap increases) put the money in escrow.  the owner (or the town of Green Bay) doesn't wire the money from his bank account.
