Wow, I must be out of touch.  I had no idea that punters were paid that well. 

It just sort of surprised me to see the punter, as the 14th highest salary.


Anyway, what struck me to even post that article was that estimates show the Bengals having 17.5-18.5M in cap space. 

Many seemed disappointed in the Bengals Free Agency period activities.  As we all know, the second free agency period will begin in August, as veterans start getting cut to make space for rookies that look like they are going to pan out.

On the other hand, the Bengals have a ton of players that are coming due next year.  That money could be used to sew up a couple of those guys.

Any guesses as to what the money will actually go toward?  (save the "in Mike Brown's pocket" comments, as we already know that part)
