They over value role players and under value stars. Especially when it comes to non primary positions.
There not even paying their own players right now (outside of Burrow). 

Not really true (outside of maybe DJ Reader). in 2021 they really didnt spend a whole lot of money on guys like Chidobe , Larry O, Mike Hilton, and Hendrickson. The Bengals have always gone for the for multiple cheap role guys over one elite player.

This may be the case, and I compare that to what we see some companies do with salary ranges.

Some companies have small ranges and basically feel that strong performers only need to be making just a few thousand more (or in NFL few million more) vs mid-performers.

And they don't realize (or refuse to accept) that these high performers actually are being paid (well) below market value compared to if they went elsewhere.
