Hey, Jim.
Now that the "real" cap number is down to 15K, my view of retaining key guys has dimmed a bit.
Do you think that the Bengals are willing to let all of the key guys (Reggie, Adam, Iloka, Sanu, and MLJ) walk if the offers they get elsewhere are inlayed beyond what they see as reasonable. I have a bad feeling that they just may for some reason. 15 mil would probably get spent on guys like Vinny Rey if they give him the rumored 5 mil AAV, Wallace at 3 mil AAV, Leon at 3 AAV, Tate's mil or so, and Pat Sims at a mil. Signing all of the lesser guys would be about 3mil short, but they could inflate the deals to meet the 15.
Is it insane to see this as a thing that might come to be?
