As such, waiting until June 1 for the cap to come off could limit what the Bengals do in FA.


But if the goal is to not spend to the cap in FA and use more money for extension to Burrow (and Higgins?), that extra $2.8 mill could come in handy.

Ah, that is the caveat that I didn't fully understand.
