Should Wilkins be #1 FA target if not tagged?

Linemen also tend to be productive longer than players at other position groups.  A DT heading into their age 30 season is a lot different than a WR.

I'm admittedly not 100% on it when it comes to injury settlements and when you can and can't release injured players, but doesn't Hubbard needing surgery complicate cutting him? If he sticks around for a bit then he'd hit his roster and workout bonuses.

Assuming the Bengals would be willing to have $4m in dead cap space to begin with. Hubbard also was their Walter Payton MoY nominee for both 2021 and 2022 and a team captain for the last 3 years straight, so keep that in mind when it comes to the Bengals and how they operate.
