I think the most frustrating part about today so far is that we all know that the Bengals won't use the cap space for this year or next year on outside free agents:

2017 - After the LaFell signing, we have $36 million
2018 - We currently sit at $60 million

Thats a lot of unused money.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!

And that's if the cap doesn't rise. It rose $12 million this past season.

Vontaze Burfict is about to cash in heavily.

What cap space are you talking about?!?

I'm worried we won't have enough to even sign our draft picks this year.

And God forbid if someone gets hurt. We are screwed

Extend Atkins, Burfict, and Dunlap would be a nice start. We can still grab a few decent free agents this year as well.

What don't you people understand . We don't grab decent free agents, if any.

I hate this team. Were overpaying a number 2 Corner # 1 Money  when we already 2 first Rd Corners that can replace him.

Every free agent is getting overpaid. We just overpay the wrong ones.

haven't seen WJIII and Dennard hasn't been able to get on the field.  If Dre does sign, Pacman has to be released...

That'd be appropiate. Release Pacman and free up an additional $6 million that could've been used to extend Whit after Whit has agreed to play for a new team.

Well, you need 50% of it for your rookie pool, and then the other 50% for your injury pool.

No more cap space left.
