Let's say they re-sign the 9 players listed below 1 year deals (just as examples). These contracts replace the placeholders for a net cap hit of 15.15m...meaning they will still be at 51 contracts and have around 19.25m in remaining cap space.
RB- Trayveon Williams 1 yr- 1.225m
WR- Trenton Irwin 1 yr- 1.2m
TE- Tanner Hudson 1 yr- 1.35m
TE- Drew Sample 1 yr- 1.275m
G- Max Scharping 1 yr- 1.25m
DT- DJ Reader 1 yr- 12m
LB- Akeem Davis-Gaither 1 yr- 2.125m
LB- Joe Bachie 1 yr- 1.2m
LB- Markus Bailey 1 yr- 1.175m
*I used a low-end estimate for Reader just because of the uncertainty with the injury and the risk of signing him to more than one year right now. I feel like the high end would be something in the 13-14m range.
I think Awouzie is brought back
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
