As for an earlier post you made, I agree teams had every reason to believe cap would go up forever so their tactic worked very well. But then this year they were screwed so let's deal with the her and now.
Bengals just gained 4.1 million more to use in 2021. I am not a GM, but I am banking on very good players getting cut. The teams with the money will be able to sign them at big discounts to one year deals. I predict the cuts come after the draft for those teams who can't sign their draft picks once they know they drafted their replacement. For example, Pitts probably is gone top 6, but if Eagles drafted Pitts, Ertz likely is cut.
So again, FA is not over, trades are not over, not even close for 2021 so glad we have cap money, because my prediction is cap goes up 15% minimum in 2022 even with the league taking some cap money from 2022 and 2023 to get to 185 million in 2021.
At best, this roster moves saves the Bengals 2% of the 2021 salary cap. If we use their adjusted salary cap due to their rollover it saves 0.5%. And it won’t even save them that percentage because they have created a roster hole and a potential draft need.
