Although with the low cap this year has been particularly different in lots of quality guys getting cut.

They know they just need to shuffle the money around for a year. Word is the cap is going to jump up big time next season...

Estimates around $230m.

Considering it's $182.5 in 2021, that's almost $40-50m more. As things sit now, if we assume $225m, the Bengals will have over $100m in cap space going into 2022 if those numbers are true. It makes the non-signing of IOL this FA period even more absurd and it was already pretty absurd.
