And we only had about $6 million in cap unused cap space to roll over last year. So we could not have signed those $15-$20 million free agents every one was screaming for last off season.
Listen, this is old Bengals speak. You can play around with salary cap. Just because the bengals historically front loaded contracts doesn’t mean that’s the only way to be done. It’s time to throw conservative out the window. The window is open and small. 3 years before it gets EXPONENTIALLY harder.
If you can afford reader and Hendrickson on thr DL? You can do the same on the OL. Fred, 3rd highest cap space. Dudes like Spain? Prince? They are not much of an upgrade over a practice squad dude. We literally rotated RGs in the playoffs. They are not worth more
Than minimum.
With your most expensive players on rookie contracts (burrow, chase, Higgins) you can NOT squander
This.
Please realize the bengals DO and CAN overhaul
Their OL.
