Bengals.com thread of the day!

Check out the exchange between myself and this idiot named mulligan. Priceless.

Bengals somehow down to 14 mil to spend - Page 9 - Cincinnati Bengals Message Boards - Forums

Lol. Good stuff.

 

[kramer1]

Duuuh...math is hard!

There are a lot of idiots out there that believe everything Geoff Hobson tells them all while the evidence to the contrary is public knowledge and 1 google search away. These people are fucking retarded.

 

[kramer1]

The plot thickens! We have some other idiot in there now that is confused as all hell.

"But Mike rolled over the cap space!"

These fuckin people are the best!

We all know Mike. He's going to spend the minimum amount necessary to comply with the new CBA and not a penny more. What was hilarious was that none of those clowns understood whose pocket the remainder was going in.

LOL...it just vanishes!

so basically, MB just needs to spend .89% of the 2013 adjusted cap?

Mike Brown can get away with spending .89 x 137.5 million (2013 adjusted cap) = 122.2 million, and still end up not having to spend more than any team in the league.

see if you understand this shit:

NFL Salary Cap - FAQ

the minimum spend for 2012 was 120 million.
all we need to do is focus on the adjusted value of that for 2013.
the roll over, I don't think, really affects us much, it affects the teams that actually spend money.

let me know if I'm on the right track.

here's a simple quote from a simple article:

The more relevant point, for the next two years, is that teams like the Bucs, Bengals, and Chiefs can choose to stay as far below the salary cap as they want.

This roll over shit gets me confused.

So lets say the CAP is set at 123 mil for 2013, and Say Owner X only elects to spent 100 mil on his roster, does that mean the teams Cap number for 2014 is 23 million plus whatever the NFL sets 2014's number at?

Sounds right to me. Difference is your Ravens will spend to the cap, while my Bengals will only spend to the floor. That's why you win Super Bowls and we struggle along.

with Sims signing with the Raiders the Bengals officially have 1.7 million left in cap space

The 89% cap floor has to be hit as an AVERAGE over the 4 seasons. So, a team could spend 70% 1 season, 100% the next, etc. They do not have to spend at least 89% every year...they just have to be at an 89% average at the end of the time period. If they aren't....the monies that would be needed to equal an 89 average is distributed equally amongst the players on that team.

Mike Brown will not spend a penny more than the 89%. He can "roll over" eleventy billion if he wishes. 89% of the cap is less than 100% of the cap. He'll pocket the rest.

Here's a real simple example

Cap is 500 million over that 4 years...

Ravens will spend - 500 million
Bengals will spend - 445 million (89%)

Mikey pockets 55 mil and is in compliance. Mikey chooses not to build an indoor practice facility or let his players have free gatorade.
