In the 80's & 90's we we not really players in FA. Neither Carson nor Andy won a PO game. Burrow is the real deal and we have a top 10 defense. We have cap space with Burrow on a rookie deal. So, how have we done so far?

Here is the list of moves we have made so far. I will try to keep it updated. Let me know if I goof something up.

What we have done:

I.  Signed  Sealed, Delivered
1. La'el Collins, RT. 3 years, $30 million (reportedly).
2. Alex Cappa, RG. 4 years, $35 mil. 2022 hit: $6.75 mil.
3. Ted Karras, C/G. 3 years, $18 mil. 2022 hit: $5 mil.
4. Hayden Hurst, TE. 1 year, $3.476 mil.

II.  Re-Signed
1. Jessie Bates, FS. 1 year, $12.9 mil. Franchise tag.
2. BJ Hill, DT. 3 years, $30 mil. 2022 hit: $8.33 mil.
3. Eli Apple, CB. 1 year, $4 mil (reported)
4. Josh Tupou, NT/DT. 2 years, $3 mil. 2022 hit: $1.4 mil.
5. Brandon Allen, QB. 1 year, $1.5 mil.
6. Clark Harris, LS. 1 year, $1.272mil. 2022 hit: $1.047 mil.
7. Michael Thomas, FS. 1 year, $1.035 mil. 2022: $995k.  
8. Mike Thomas, WR. 1 year, $1.12 mil. $895k cap hit.
9. Jalen Davis, CB. 1 yr, $1.035 mil. 2022: $895k.
10. Joe Bachie, LB. 1 yr, $825k. 2022: $825k.
11. Trenton Irwin, WR.
12. Stanley Morgan Jr., WR.

III.  Signed Elsewhere
1. CJ Uzomah, TE.  NY Jets. 3 years, $24 mil.
2. Darius Phillips, CB. Raiders. 1 year, $1.5 mil.
5. Fred Johnson, OT. Cut by Bengals. +$2.4 mil cap space.

IV.  Still FAs
1. Larry Ogunjobi, DT.
2. Riley Reiff, OT.  
3. Quinton Spain, OG.
4. Kevin Huber, P.
5. Trey Waynes, CB. Released. +$10.9 cap.
6. Trey Hopkins, C. Released. +$5.9 cap.
7. Jordan Evans, LB. Serious knee injury.
8.  Fred Johnson, OT. Released. +$2.4 cap.
9. Auden Tate, WR. Ain't coming back.

Whew! That is what we've done.  And is a long post.  So I will save where we stand for the next post.

Just an FYI, the Bengals originally tendered Fred Johnson for 2.4 million, but he was never cut because the Bengals removed the offer so he never signed it. So, he started a FA and continues to be a FA
