RB2 Samjae Perine back for 2 years, $3.8 mil. Presumably a Moss release is coming.

These guys do technically take up roster spaces and cap space at the moment. But effectively they do not, as none of them have any Dead Cap hit if released. These are camp bodies, practice squad types with perhaps a dark horse candidate to make the 53 or two.
But it does give one a better idea if how much space we'd have with a full toster instead of only 44.

The most common method via spotrac & OTC is the top 51 method, which is accurate for the off-season, but does not include all 53 players in the regular season, the cost of the practice squad (or possibly rookies), or include low salary guys likely to make the team.
So, top 51 gives a quick idea of howuch space you have, but is gonna overestimate the space by the cost of the PS ($3-$4 mil), 2 low end roster spots ($2 mil), and the cost of you rookie contracts over existing guys (hard to say, depending on who gets cut).
1. Top 51 Cap Space
Guess after Hill, if at $11 mil hit, around $32 mil. Adter Perine, likely above $30 still.

Packers NT/DT TJ Slaton is now a Bengal. 2 years, $15 mil. Run stuffer.
https://www.cincyjungle.com/2025/3/10/24382545/tj-slaton-bengals-packers-free-agents-2025
PFF hated his 2024 (45.4 grade) but ESPN rated him with the highest run stop win % of any DT in the league (400+ snaps).

Bengals sign former Eagles LB Oren Burks. Who was mostly a ST guy until LB Nakobe Dean got hurt, and started and played well during the SB run. PFF, 149 snaps, 83.0 overall 86.8 run D, 70.0 coverage, 63.2 pass rush. Better in SB. 2 years, $5 mil. At least LB3 if not challenging for LB2.

DE Joseph Ossai is back. 1 year, $7 mil. Bit of an overpay for a guy I was hoping to be DE3, but he's a starter atm.
No idea where space is at. $12 mil? More?

C. Cap Space Calculator
The most common method via spotrac & OTC is the top 51 method, which is accurate for the off-season, but does not include all 53 players in the regular season, the cost of the practice squad (or possibly rookies), or include low salary guys likely to make the team.
So, top 51 gives a quick idea of howuch space you have, but is gonna overestimate the space by the cost of the PS ($3-$4 mil), 2 low end roster spots ($2 mil), and the cost of you rookie contracts over existing guys (hard to say, depending on who gets cut).

No idea where we are now. $12?

Spotrac has Perine counting $1.4 mil against the cap.
Ossai has to be $7.
Unknowns: Hudson (can't be much), Hill, Slaton, Burks.
Guestimating $35 mil with Hill, Slaton, & Burks not factored in. Cutting Moss would push it to $38.
APY's of $11/$7.5/$2.5 would teduce it to $17 mil, but the space is likely more.

Wow. Not much left by my quick math. Hoping for some news on a Joe Burrow restructure and locking up Trey, Tee, and Chase.
Would have loved another G and some bigger FA splashes (not many bigger than Slaton) but I'm not mad if we go into the draft with that roster.

CB6 Marco Wilson has been re-signed for 1 year, and $1.52 mil.
Fringe roster guy who did play some last year after Hill & Turner got hurt. 36 snaps.

IV. Signed to Future's Contracts = 13 (67)
These guys do technically take up roster spaces and cap space at the moment. But effectively they do not, as none of them have any Dead Cap hit if released. These are camp bodies, practice squad types with perhaps a dark horse candidate to make the 53 or two.
But it does give one a better idea if how much space we'd have with a full toster instead of only 44.
