I think we are going to be closer than some realize.
$56 mill in cap, $67 mill if cutting Waynes.
Bengals only have ~34 players under contract.
I think players like Ogunjobi, Hill, Uzomah, and Spain could all command $5-8 mill each.
Bates tag is going to be $13 mill, so an extension would likely be around that or higher.
Veteran depth players are going to cost $1-3 mill APY.

If you're looking at players you'd have true confidence in upgrading a starting spot with an outside FA, you're likely looking at someone in the $8+ mill range.
So that cap can get swallowed up quick based on the contracts signed.
