NFL.com: Our free agent needs

[TecmoBengals]

The article highlights the top three FA needs for all AFC teams. For us, not surprisingly, the article's author offers our needs at OL, OL, & OL (He also adds TE and other positions are of need).

Interestingly, the article says we have nearly $35 million in cap space.

35 is the correct number as of today. 

OL is too easy for the "experts", we literally have zero peeps at DT and the other CB.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Well, on paper, at this moment, I'd say:

1) RT (Reiff is a FA and chances of a starting RT are slim at #31).

2) Guard. Both spots. Spain is a FA. Adeniji + Carman would start. More likely we could get help at #31 (Zion Johnson, Kenyon Green). But Spain on a reasonable deal (under $5 mil) + a vet upgrade (Corbett, Daniels, Tomlinson) would be wonderful.

3) DT. Larry O, Hill, and Tupou are all FAs.

4) CB. Waynes is technically still a Bengal but we need that cap space. Apple a FA. He seems like a guy that thinks too highly of himself. Could be pricey.

5) C. Hopkins under contract. But boy, an upgrade would be nice. So would $6 mil in cap space. Even if Linderbaum's stubby arms don't have him fall to us, it is supposedly a deep C class. Zion Johnson is also possible, though he played guard.

6) TE. CJ is a FA and Sample is worthless as a receiver.

7) Safety. Allen retired. Wilson coming off injury. Bates on a tag.

8) WR depth beyond big 3.

9) Punter. Huber is done.

10) Punt returner. Sign Taylor already.
