Two things:
1) I didn't necessarily mean Thuney, but the Bengals do now have the money to have signed him had they been willing to part with certain veterans before FA started. Anyone as "low" as Zeitler and upward would have been fine.

2) The Bengals typically only use ~$5 mill or less of a current cap toward extensions. They are highly unlikely going to give Bates and Hubbard $10+ mill from the current cap. What I would expect more is that a good amount of the remaining cap will be rolled over to 2022.
