I don't really care what the exact numbers are. The facts are that other teams that have less room than us, are finding creative ways to keep players and sign parts. We are doing neither...... And unfortunately a lot of our fans believe the fairly tale about the importance and difficulty of signing our young stars. It's not difficult. We hold all the cards unless these guys don't want security until 2017.

Completely agree.

The cap isn't a hard and fast issue. There are ways around, creative ways to manipulate the numbers in your favor.

"Creative" for people on the outside looking in.

"Business as usual" for teams that are actually trying to win.

Marshall Newhouse may not even make the roster.

Hope not. If he's our go to guy when a starting tackle gets hurt, we are fucked.

Stop worrying. Our line coach plays piano!

The Bengals.com message board is too fucking hilarious. You can only read it in short 5-10 minute spurts, though. Any more and your head may explode.

more depth for CB, although this guy might not even make the team

The major difference is qb..... When you have Aron Rogers, you don't need to try as hard.

we have a fullback now.

well, he's actually a TE that plays fullback, close enough.

we signed a lightweight rb, maybe a replacement for tate on returns?

Tate will be a Bengal long after we all are dead and gone.
