2025 Salary Cap-$279.2

[*michaelsean*]

Hobson did the math. The Bengals need to to scrub $12 million to get under the cap.

How about we wait and see before kvetching?

Plenty of money to level up this roster and load up on DL in the draft.

The reports from last year said he was looking for 160 million at 40 million per year.  I wouldnt pay him 40 million last year and I wouldnt pay him 40 million this year.  

The Bengals could make him play this year on his 5th year option, tag him all 3 times the collective bargaining agreement allows and still come out paying him less money and no guarantees except for the current year he plays.  Like I said before, if he gets too greedy with the demands, that is a possible outcome.  Tee is going to get tagged twice, you dont think they would do the same to JaMarr?  He should be paid and paid well but dont act ridiculous on your demands.

Yeah, let’s make it another huge distraction and royally piss off both our 2 best players. Sounds like a great plan.

I was not a fan of extending Chase last year, but we MUST extend him this year.

The part I don't like is: "We all want to play together, we all want to be the highest paid players at our position."

I'm not sure we can do that at too many spots
