Considering the position the bengals are in, they should be one of the biggest players this whole offseason. Saving money for future years is a weak argument.
The chiefs were 20-21m, this time last year, over the cap, it didn’t stop them from retooling their OL. Sounds impossible, but it happened, and that was with the impending contract of mahomes kicking in, and hill and kelce, so on.

The bengals can easily resign bates, get above average/good 2-3 OL and fill out the roster, while bringing back whoever they want of their own. While keeping boyd and mixon.
This whole thing was started as sarcasm, because only bengals fans would
Think they don’t have enough money to go around.
I wonder who wrote this . . .

I can make that work with cap hits of 7M/10.5M/10.5M/10.5M/11.5M. Guarantee the first 3 years would equal $36M in guarantees so he would receive at least 72% of the contract which is a good deal for him (and his agent.) And if the Bengals needed to release him in the 5th year there would only be $4M in dead money and a $7.5M cap savings. And as you can tell the consistent cap hits the Bengals aren't pushing cap space into future years to create a problem down the road. And it equals a $10M average per year which would be #5 for RGs . . .this year. That contract won't stay Top 5.
They can afford several upgrades unless the contracts get more ridiculous than usual.
Oh, it was ***** me. Nine hours before you claimed only Bengals fans believe they don’t have enough money.
If the Bengals can “easily resign bates, get above average/good 2-3 OL and fill out the roster, while bringing back whoever they want of their own. While keeping boyd and mixon” then why are you trading Boyd when the Bengals can easily do all that? You don’t like 70/1000/6 receivers? Because according to you, teams can’t find WRs like that drafted five slots after Boyd. Except for the examples which have already been pointed out. But, excluding them, it’s impossible.
