Sign McCoy for a year or 2 or extend Boyd and AJ before the season start?


I don't know if we can do all of that with whats left depends on mccoys salary demands...  but there are several good DL still on the market


not sure how up to date this is but it shows we still have about 22 mil left

should be enough to do 2 out of the 3

I don't understand the numbers on spotrac.com for the Bengals. It shows we have $19M in cap space when you count the top 51 contracts and for All contracts we have only $313,322 in cap space. If we only have $300k in cap space we aren't extending anyone. It's so unlike Mike Brown to not have at least $15M in free cap space going into training camp.

This doesn't make any sense to me. How can the bottom contracts (the ones which are not in the top 51) count as $19M?

Maybe someone who understand this could give us (or me) some help to understand it.
