Owners are doing very well. The next CBA will be interesting.

Just a reminder for soem fans, value is a great thing to get loans if needed. They can't get the value unless they sell stock in the team or sell the team. I think some think they may have billions laying around, just not true. But, they should have a healthy cash on hand because they likey do not have a lot of debt.

The value actually being low for the Bengals is important. Mike Brown doesn't have much longer (Just being realistic) and the tax implications that come with his passing will be massive. I honestly wonder if the Family's move to buy out all of the other partners a while back was so that they could potentially resell those shares down the road to offset the tax burden that will come with his passing.

This is so true and I didn't think about that. The estate tax will be a large percentage because it's well above the rate for the federal government to take the highest percentage.
