With roughly $66mm (after Waynes release) in salary cap space, there should be enough to either FT or extend Bates.
The Bengals need to retain their best defensive players while adding additional defensive playmakers (probably in the draft). FT for Bates would be about $14mm for Bates.

Love the FA oline additions to the team. Probably about $25mm, maybe a tick more.
$25mm Oline + $14mm Bates FT = $39mm with still about $27mm left to sign add'l players (e.g Uzomah, Apple, BJ Hill).
Moses is playing on a 1 year $4.3mm deal. Estimated Market Value of $7.7mm.

Andrew Norwell - Restructured his deal for a $9mm hits with $3m in incentives ($1m playoff, $1m pro bowl, $1m top 10 team rank). He should be able to be "got" for $10mm.

James Daniels is exiting rookie deal and made $3mm in the most recent year. He will be more expensive - Spotrac is now estimating his market value as $7.3.
