Bengals don't have $72 million in cap space. They are projected to have $58 million and they could gain another 10 by cutting Waynes.
And the big problem is that we only have 37 players under contract for 2022 and need to replace several key players including...
Reiff, starter
Ogunjobi, starter
Uzomah, starter
Bates, starter
Spain, starter
Apple, starter
B.J. Hill, 50% of snaps
Tupou, 40% of snaps
So that is 8 key players plus another 6 spots just to fill our roster.
There is not near as much to spend as you seem to believe.
