Reiff, Hills, and Bates replaced by... Daniel Faalele, Perrion Winfrey, and Bryan Cook, respectively in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounds of the draft. About $5.5m/yr for all 3.

Ogunjobi sign for 3yr/$21m.

Replace Uzomah with Gronk to help solve the Red Zone offense. 93 RZ catches for 65 TDs, plus 15 TDs in 22 career playoff games. 1yr/$8m is what he signed for last time.

Spain was already addressed by signing 2 Guards.

Replace Apple with Charvarius Ward at $10m/yr.


Tupou had 3 solo tackles all year, 12 total tackles. 1 QB hit, 0 TFL, 0 sacks, 0 Pdef, 0 FF. He can be replaced by a league minimum guy.

Even at the back-of-the-napkin numbers we tend to use here where all contracts have their cap hits perfectly spread out rather than increasing by year like almost all contracts ever, that still leaves you somewhere around $6m to fill out the very bottom of the roster with some rookie min deals. In reality it would be a decent amount more.

After watching Faalele at the Senior Bowl he reminds me of a bigger, slower, less talented version of Andre Smith. I don’t trust his pass blocking.

I would like to see the Bengals de-sign both Ogunjobi and Hill. I read a report Ogunjobi suffered a Lisfranc injury. Depending upon the severity, the recovery time can be similar to an ACL repair. There is a chance he may not be ready at the start of next season. I think Ogunjobi’s health will play a big part in the Bengals re-signing him. If they do, they’ll need a Plan B in case there is a delay in his recovery.
