OTC has the Bengals currently listed as $10.6m under their cap this year. In 2017 they have them estimated at $44.5m in cap space.

Zeitler ($8m) will be gone trying to chase DeCastro money, replaced by a draft pick, Fisher, or Westerman for $400k-$1m.
Whit ($8m) will probably be brought back for less or equal money.
Kirk ($7.5m) keeps getting hurt and likely won't make $7.5m in 2017 if the Bengals bring him back.
Peko ($3.7m) will be replaced by Andrew Billings for much less.

I can't believe it's week 5 and you're already trying to bring up the offseason cult mantra that if you spend money in FA, you'll lose everyone you care about. Lol

Wasn't Lafell just a one year deal as well?  And I am really beginning to wonder about Eifert's deal.  I am also uncertain of the length of Michael Johnson's deal.  

With the number of compensatory picks coming the Bengal's way next year, I wonder if they won't keep McCarron next year as well.  One of the big teams that I could see needing a QB is SF (Man, they were awful last night...and Hyde looks like an amazing back.  Gabbert just awful) but I don't think McCarron fits a Chip Kelly offense.  Furthermore, the success of QBs Wentz and Prescott will likely have more and more teams thinking they can add through the draft.  

As much as I would like to see the Bengals pick up a very nice draft pick for AJM, I can't help but think it might be better to keep him his last year of his contract as a security blanket.  I feel bad for the guy, though, as there are a lot of turds starting over him in the league that aren't anywhere near the QB AJM could be, IMHO.  Personally, I think he is EXACTLY the QB the Jets need.
