If they only spend $25 million, I'd be pretty ticked. The salary cap just rose $10 million (to $198.2 million). They cut Glenn ($10 million), and Dalton will be gone (another $17 million). They should be around $80 million under the cap with very few players that are worthy of a big pay raise. We should be blowing up free agency, frankly.

That $80 million is about right without taking into account AJ’s and Mixon’s deals. Heck maybe it’s 90 million if Dre is gone.
This is the biggest opportunity the Bengals have ever had to radically improve their team over 1 season given they also draft at the top for 7 rounds. Could be decades before another opportunity like this arises. So I’m cautiously optimistic they will be very active in FA.
