Are we being realistic with Free Agency expectations?

Where did you get $58 million?

I got it from this article on cincyjungle:

Quote:That $5.292 million may not seem like a lot when there are teams with over $10 million getting rolled over. However, it looks like Cincinnati will have roughly $58 million in cap space when the rollover gets added, according to Spotrac. That number is also prior to the Bengals cutting cornerback Trae Waynes who has struggled to stay on the field since being signed before the 2020 season. That move would open up $11 million more in cap space.

But if I click the link attached, you're right it's only shown as 49 million. Maybe the total salary cap projection changed between the time this article was written and now? Either way, that's a little disappointing. So we have less than I was anticipating when I wrote my post.
