Cut Waynes (+$10.8 mill)
Cut Hopkins (+$6 mill)
Cut the following random depth players that likely have no chance in making the roster:
Noah Spence ($895k)
Lamont Gaillard ($895k)
Jake Browning ($825k)
Keandre Jones ($825k)
John Brannon ($705k)
Elijah Holyfield ($705k)
Scotty Washington ($705k)
Pooka Williams ($705k)
Added the following players:
BJ Hill ($8 mill)
CJ Uzomah ($8 mill)
Quinton Spain ($5 mill)
Eli Apple ($4 mill)
Tre Flowers ($2 mill)
Clark Harris ($1.25 mill)
James Daniels ($10 mill)
Brian Allen ($7 mill)
Morgan Moses ($9 mill)
That brought the roster to 47 players and $3.723 mill remaining in cap going into the draft.
What to take from this:
The Bengals might not quite be able to sign all their main internal FAs plus 2-3 good OL upgrades in FA, but they could come close if they are willing to cut Waynes.
Nicely done. I find this to actually be very realistic and would be more than fine with it. It allows Carman, D'Ante, Trey Hill
and whoever we Draft to develop behind proven vets which is what we need.

Spain I understand but not thrilled.
Allen might be worse tna Hopkins
Moses couldnt start for the Jets last year was on a 1 year tender for 4M and had a solid season but is 31.
James Daniels I like but i do not understand the Bears not fighting to keep him if he is so great and only 24 with their 30M in cap space.
Hill is the one Im confident in. CJ I guess. Flowers is a steal at 2M. You not signing Huber?
Well we could go with just a couple bigger name FA's but this is realistic as the O-lineman Ocho has here fit the wide zone
scheme that Pollack runs and this is feasible money wise. Allen is a much better run blocker than Hopkins, Hopkins is a better
pass protector though. With Daniels he is highly versatile and the Bears were in a tough place cap wise and it is about unheard
of for teams to tag O-lineman.
Moses is a slight upgrade over Reiff in my opinion cause he is younger and isn't as injury prone. He allows for whoever we pick
to develop behind a proven vet at RT.
