The Bengals now have $8.95 mill in cap space.
The one caveat with that is the draft picks are expected to cost ~$11.5 mill when all is said and done, which could put the Bengals over the cap if no one is cut/traded.

I think the most likely scenario that happens is Dalton is traded/cut during or after the draft, freeing up enough cash for the Bengals to not only sign their draft picks but also extend a guy before the season starts. Maybe WJ3 or AJ Green.

Your thoughts?

We are negative 2.4 with the top 51 and draft pool. We could make that up with a long term extension of AJ or WJ3. The other option is we could find that in a restructure of someone like Dunlap or Geno and just convert some of their salary this year to signing bonus. Either way, we still don't HAVE to move on from Dalton. Now do I think we will? maybe. I think if we don't have much of an off season program having Dalton here could be a really valuable asset.
