Approximate current cap remaining 3/15 - ochocincos - 03-15-2019
According to https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cincinnati-bengals/cap/2019/, the Bengals have $42.5 mill cap space remaining.
Details:
- This DOES include Bobby Hart
- This does NOT include CJ Uzomah (average about $6 mill per year), Preston Brown (average about $7 mill per year), and BW Webb (average about $4.33 mill per year) = $17.33 mill per year
- This does NOT have 2018 draft reserves, injury reserves, or extension reserves in there ($15-20 mill combined?)
We need to see the year-by-year details of the three contracts above, but the Bengals should now be around $25 mill cap space remaining.
With the draft, injury reserve, and possible extension reserve, the Bengals probably realistically only have ~$5-10 mill more that they could put toward FAs this year.
EDIT - 3/18:
Per Albert Breer yesterday, Bengals now have ~$25 mill remaining cap space.
The cap hits for 2019 ended up being less for Preston Brown ($4.7 mill) and BW Webb ($3 mill).
This allowed the team to also sign John Miller and re-sign Tyler Eifert, which are not reflected in Spotrac or OverTheCap yet.

my assumption is they are also going to sign Boyd to an extension this year and then you have to factor in AJ Green's extension if they don't trade him.
let's also take into account Boling is up next year along with Giovani

Of course they can open up quite a bit of cap space by cutting players like Burfict and Michael Johnson.

Just Burflict. Johnson's contract expired.

Michael Johnson isn't signed and currently isn't on the cap

Oh yeah, duh. Lol.
RE: Approximate current cap remaining 3/15 - Fullrock - 03-15-2019
They can save 5.5 mil on the 2019 cap by cutting Burfict.
RE: Approximate current cap remaining 3/15 - THE PISTONS - 03-15-2019
Can we cut Bobby Hart to free up cap space?
RE: Approximate current cap remaining 3/15 - SErebel11 - 03-15-2019
Current roster (Listed those who are most likely on the 53 man roster barring injury or draft upgrade)
This includes cutting Burfict.
Also includes signing Boyd to a 4/32m deal with 7m of it this season as a roster bonus
Offense:
QB1 Dalton
QB2 Driskell
HB1 Mixon
HB2 Bernard
HB3
HB4
LT Glenn
RT
OT Hart
OG Boling
OG Westerman
OL Hopkins
OL Redmond
OG
C Price
WR1 Green
WR2 Boyd
WR3 Ross
WR4 Erickson
WR5 Malone
WR6
TE1
TE2 Uzomah
TE3
TE4 Carter/Schreck/Tate
Defense:
DT1 Atkins
DT2 Billings
DT3 Glasgow
DT4 Tupua
DE1 Dunlap
DE2 Willis
DE3 Hubbard
DE4 Lawson
DL
LB1
LB2
LB3 P.Brown
LB4 Vigil
LB5 Evans
LB6 Jefferson
CB1 Kirkpatrick

CB5 Phillips
CB6 Harris/Mcrae

That is 43/53 under roster.
That leaves the Bengals with $36,732,113 in cap space.
Subtract off the Bengals approximate draft pool $9,641,984
Subtract off $10,000,000 that they will stay under the cap for injury etc
That would leave around 17m for free agency.
Bengals could also switch some of the money in an AJ extension to bonus say 3/45 and 9m bonus and have 23m available in cap space and add 5 solid pieces.
For instance,
Sign LB Zach Brown 3/21m 7m per
Trade 6th round pick for LB Darron Lee 2m -.5m 6th round pick value =1.5m
Sign Eifert 1/5m
Sign DE Ben Mayowa 2/8M
Sign G John Miller 3/16.5m
Then the roster headed into the draft would look like this
Offense:
QB1 Dalton
QB2 Driskell
HB1 Mixon
HB2 Bernard
HB3
HB4
LT Glenn

OT Hart
OG Boling
OG Westerman

*Edited-Had been typing this out and just saw Miller signed. Hit his number and years right on the mark though!
