The additions of Ogunjobi and Hill, along with the return of Tupou, have really boosted this DL.

With that said, the Bengals are spending the 3rd-most cap this year towards defense, so I don't know how long that will be sustainable.
They'll have 3 DL set to hit FA after this season though, so I'd imagine they'll only keep 1-2 of them and draft a guy to groom.
I'd also really like for them to keep Bates, but it might mean moving on from Waynes after this season.
Personally, I'd let go of Waynes and draft a CB early.
With the front 7 playing the way it has, this CB group can take the chance on a rookie starting opposite of Chido next year.

This is true, but we also have a load of cap money in 2022 to sign our guys

Also players on rookie deals

For overall cap, we have a very inexpensive QB and kicker compared to a lot of teams
