Either these dudes are gonna choose to take a bit less than market value or somebody(s) leavin.

Our "big" UFA's this off-season will be...

Spain
Reiff
Uzi
Ogunjobi
Bates
Apple
BJ Hill

In '23, we're looking at...

Hopkins
Waynes
Bell
Pratt


'24 becomes the time for some tough choices with...


Jonah(assuming his 5th year option was picked up)
Boyd
Mixon
Higgins
Reader
Awuzie
Wilson

The next two years, we really aren't losing anybody that isn't easily replaceable aside from arguably Spain who has has played well on a 1 year prove it.  You could also put Reiff in that category, but they should honestly look to upgrade over him this off-season.

I would honestly say Mixon likely won't last til '24 until age catches up and his deal isn't viable.  Higgins will likely get reupped over Boyd.due to age and productivity.  

The big question is will the Bengals push all in in '22 and '23 at the risk of losing some guys in '24.
