I think Boyd's saving is 8.8M, and again, I don't disagree.

I can tell you that Tyler is expecting a very large raise after this coming season and I seriously doubt we are giving it to him....

Yes. But that is my point.

Look at all the money saved if Boyd, Mixon, and Collins are gone.

$8.8 mill (Boyd)
$7.2 mill (Mixon)
$6.0 mill (Collins)
-------------------
$22.0 mill total

You're telling me you can't find a way to repurpose $22.0 mill and find adequate-or-better replacements for those positions along with opening up the draft?

Bengals have $44 mill in cap space, up to $66 mill if they make these moves.

That could afford the ability to re-sign guys and get a stud OL like McGlinchey.
The rest of the money can be used along with the draft to get a new WR, RB, rotational pass rusher, quality OL depth, and LB/DB (depth).

Look, we know the Bengals are unlikely to make a move on guys like Mixon, Boyd, and Collins, but that doesn't mean it's not worth doing (more often anyway).
