It seems like a lot, but when you look, the Bengals only have ~35 players under contract for 2022.
I know people think that players might be willing to sign for a discount to play with Burrow, but I doubt it'd be THAT much of a discount.
Some of the more impactful players the Bengals have that are set to hit FA should fetch $5+ mill each, which will go through that cap kinda fast.
They might only be able to sign a good starter or two while retaining most of their talent.
We'll have to see how FA pans out starting mid-March.
This is fine with me as long as both of those good starters are OL. OL is literally our only true weakness. Every other position group is at least average and all young. Also, we suck at drafting OL and seem to be killer at drafting everything else so buy an OL and let our FO continue to find gems at every other position via the draft.
