It should be a very fruitful off-season. They are projected to be top five in cap space sitting right around 60 million and that’s before they cut Waynes. While Bates, CJ, BJ Hill, Spain, Pratt, and even Apple are in for pay increases, the Bengals should look very healthy heading into free agency. Post resigning their own IMO they just need to upgrade at C, RG, RT on O and CB2 on D. While I’d love to add a stud RT I think the options are very limited and they will likely not move Williams from the left side. The best option maybe to resign or sign a vet like Reiff and take another stab in the draft for that position. The interior Oline will have a lot more options should they decide to spend on that position. The evaluation on a guy like Hopkins will be very interesting if they can land a Ryan Jensen, Brain Allen, or even trade up for Linderbaum that would immediately upgrade this line.
