Why? Teams around the same 20 million as us, have a 1st round pick not under contract.

So Browns, Chargers and Pats have closer t0 14 to 15 million left.

Other teams are in very bad shape still with the cap and will need to dump salaries so Bengals are in a prime position to add good NFL starters for team friendly one year deals or make trades as well with team only trading players due to cap issues like the Eagles.

Are we done in FA or with trades or do you see us making more move(s) prior to 1st game?

I understand there is something of a 4 year cycle with cap money averages and we're back on year 1 of said cycle, so if we spend less now we can spend more in the future. That said, I agree, we should either extend Bates or pick up another FA (though I suppose the best potential signings are all gone at this point).
