And yes Boyd's 8.7M savings can make difference due to the amount the Bengals always like to hold on to. That is another player depending on the guaranteed aspect, especially if it is a one year deal to a Gronk or Moses.

Nope…I avoid most the pages of these things.

And no…it really doesn’t. The cap space can be created without doing much of anything but it won’t need to be because the cash required to actually get the guys won’t be given out in terms of signing bonuses and guarantees. They could simply convert a few guys salaries next year into signing bonuses to easily make up the cap number of Boyd with little cash considerations (cash still spent in same year but upfront versus amortized across the year) but they won’t…because they don’t need cap space because they won’t commit the large signing bonuses/guarantees to full use it.

Realistically, the Bengals could probably create another 20+ million with some accounting tricks. The cap is not inhibiting the Bengals in anyway, watch as other teams this off-season with less cap somehow sign big name guys by creating space left and right…because the cap isn’t actually real.
