Nobody cares. This is an lsu board. Almost every nfl team has lsu players on it, the bengals are not special. They are not our honorary nfl team. Please stfu about the bengals.

Then don’t read my post jackass. I put together a pretty well thought out post with solid ideas. If it bothers you that much move on. LSU’s best football player ever, happens to be the QB of the Bengals. Get off your high horse and stop being a douche.

Does Zac Taylor have the final say so on what players come and go? Is his signature on the bottom of paychecks? It boils down to a terrible owner, who has always been cheap. Well run organizations win rings, players win games. Don't be surprised if Burrow is moved in the next 2 years when his contract kicks in. Someone will gladly take him and his contract.

The bengals have the highest cap spend in the entire nfl this season

The “their cheap” is pull straight from deep in the anus of people

I hope Burrow one day has a chance to be a free agent and pick his team.
He seems like a Miami guy to be honest.

Nah, he seems more like a Raiders guy to me.

I guess you don't understand how the Salary cap works. Their cap number is due to a number of reasons 1 being they did spend a lot in offseasson contracts a few years ago and those cap numbers are hitting now instead of the front end of the contract. 2. The Franchise Tag on Tee is decent size cap hit. 3. Joe Burrows extension.

If they would have extended Chase they could have minimized his cap number, same with Tee Higgins. Now signing both of them might never have been on the table because they both are wanting WR1 money so that goes out the window but if you extend players and don't use the Franchise Tag you can minmize the cap hit. I don't understand how you are claiming the Bengals aren't cheap. They have always been cheap which is why a few years ago with their offseason signings it was shocking to a number of media members and fans. That is what setup their Back-to-Back AFC Championship appearance run and superbowl run.

If they were never planning on Signing Tee they needed to trade him because they have put themselves in a position where they are getting 0 for him and increase their cap hit this season. Same situation is going to present itself with Chase. But if Chase gets Traded or leaves in Free Agency they will not get another contract with Joe and likely just turned him into Matt Stafford with the Lions and he will eventually leave as well.

I really don't understand why they've handled the Tee Higgins situation the way they have, it's confusing to me.

Honestly, I can’t wait for the day Joe Burrow tells Cincinnati to stick it, and do whatever they can trade him but he wants out of Cincinnati, that place is a quarterback graveyard.

From an outsider point, I’ll bet you, Dallas would give their left nut to have a quarterback like Joe Burrow

Burrow is now making huge money, and it just so happens the Bengals owner is the only guy who can’t give out multiple big contracts, as his only source of income is from his actual football team the Bengals. Respect to his family for what they built, but it’s almost not fair to the Bengals, that they have an owner who is capped out, and can’t compete with everybody else.

That's not how the NFL works anymore. Every owner is a billionaire, and every team is making huge profits. This isn't european soccer and no salary cap with rich owners paying more than others. The owner isn't paying out of his pocket extra money to keep or get certain players in the NFL. Hell it's not even the NBA where huge penalties are levied on teams for staying over the tax line. Every team is in the same boat salary wise, and every team is raking in money every single year. It's the most profitable sports league in the world, for every team.

Wrong rant forum.
