Synric's Mock Me (December Mock)

Carl Lawson 11m
Quinton Spain 5m
Mackenzie Alexander 6m
Larry Warford 8m
Kevin King 6m
David Moore 4m
Kevin Huber 3m
Randy Bullock 2.5m
Brandon Wilson 3m
= 48.5

They also need to fill like 15 more spots after those signings with that left over 6 to 8m. Also a Jessie Bates extention would be a small raise in 2021 and a huge jump in 2022.

Edit: I left numbers out on purpose for people to explore the players. Trying to guess at contracts and cap space is a fools game.

Toss CJ Uzomah into the cuts and you could upgrade that King signing to keep WJ3 instead. Or upgrade from Spain to a better LG.
Bengals can get by with Sample as the starting TE for next year or draft a guy. The TE is currently 5th option in the offense anyway, and would probably stay that way if Moore was signed as WR3.

Also, I doubt I'd bother with Bullock. His FG% is only 80.8% this season. Since the Bengals already have Seibert on the roster, they could roll with him and draft a guy to compete with him. Seibert is only expected to cost $850k next year. If Bullock is kept, I would actually pay him less than what he makes now, which is $1.875 mill. I'd probably offer him $1.5 mill at most.
