I know many don't like to discuss cap space, but it can be a burden to adding or keeping our own guys. Here is a link to an update and you will find the Bengals do spend and have spent.

IN fact, we are down to 6.3 million left with guys like AJ M. only making $650K making him by far least expensive solid back up QB in the NFL contract ending in 2018 or 2019, Eifert coming up, Hill (may be cut) and others it shows the complexity of keeping a solid roster, yet doing it financially responsible.

Mixon and Willis won't take much of that cap space. Still should have at least $15 million remaining.
While everyone is saying Burfict is really the only player worth extending right now, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bengals extend some player(s) early that we don't think they necessarily should. Specifically, we could see Bodine given an extension.
