Baghdad Geoff at it again

Hobson is off by about 10-15 mill on what the Bengals could realistically spend.
They want to reserve $11 mill for draft picks, but not all of it will go towards the picks since it will knock other players off. The displacement will still leave enough for injury reserve and some for extensions/rollover.
He also is not accounting for any cuts/trades, which the Bengals could/will do if they need any extra cap to sign players they want.
Keep in mind though, they are higher on many of their players than we are, so we may not see the cuts/trades we'd like. We may also see some overpaying on FAs (internal and external) in order to draw them to a small-market, rebuilding team.
