[THE PISTONS]

They will reserve about $20-25 mill for draft pool, injuries, and extensions.

With that said, they need to replace the following positions:
- 5 OL spots (Hart, Fisher, Ogbuehi, Redmond, Hopkins)
- 2-3 TE spots (Eifert, Kroft, Uzomah)
- 2 LB spots (Brown, Rey)
- 1 DL spot (MJ)
- 2 DB (Dennard, Wilson)
----------------------
12-13 total

That's a lot of positions to fill through FA/draft, so I'd expect the Bengals to try to fill with as many B-to-C tier FAs as they can.

That's likely reality. You figure, some of the backup spots will be filled through the draft.  Maybe 1 of the starter spots will be our 1st Round pick.

They'll probably keep 1 or 2 of the TE's. I say Kroft projected to get $5 million.

They already tendered Hopkins at like $3 million.
