Jake Liscow broke down the available cash the Bengals should have to spend after draft picks, practice squad, tenders, etc...and Hobson took that number and still tried to subtract all the things Jake had already accounted for. It was embarrassing to listen to.
Listening to the podcast I think Hobson was not counting the release of Waynes and Hopkins like Liscow was.
But I still think Hobson is right on that point. Even if we have $80 million in cash to spend this year we are not going to get more than one player with a $20+ million signing bonus. If you give 2 guys $20+ million then you only have $40 million to replace 6 of these 8 losses.
Starting CB
Starting RT
Starting OG
Starting Center
Starting TE
Starting DT
2 back up DTs that played as many snaps as a starter.
And any decent free agent is going to get a signing bonus. So that cash burns up quickly.
