SORRY TRIED TO EDIT THIS TO LOOK BETTER, BUT IN YEAR ONE THE CAP HIT IS 5.6 MILLION, YEAR 2 IS 7 MILLION, YEAR 3 IS 8.4 MILLION AND YEAR 5 IS 9.8 MILLION.
Also, looking around at other teams, there are teams with more cap space than us, but have not signed their 1st round pick. Others are in bad cap situations with little to no cap money which could create more cap casualties very soon.
We still have some holes on depth at OT, LB and I would love Etrz, I think we have the money to do more prior to start of camp and still extend #1 priority Bates and maybe Hubbard, but Bates will be the expensive extension.
Thoughts?
I definitely don't think the Bengals are done, but I also think they need money left over for Bates & Hubbard
