The Cincinnati Bengals reportedly wasted $8 million dollars this year on injured receiver Antonio Bryant, who never played a down and was cut after five months with the team. The move was strange, considering the Bengals' reputation as a frugal organization.
With that said, here are the top 10 ways Cincinnati could better spend $8 million:
10. Sign two backup quarterbacks, a kicker and fullback
9. Extend Cedric Benson's contract
8. Overhaul the Bengals' medical department
7. Provide a signing bonus for Johnathan Joseph
6. Give raises to assistant coaches
5. Build an indoor practice facility
4. Hire scouts
3. Hire a general manager
2. Extend Marvin Lewis' contract
1. Give $8 million back to Hamilton County
