Pratt already sounds like he's gone, he was upset earlier in the year he wasn't playing 3rd down because "too much money left on the table".
Hurst I wouldn't be surprised if he gets something like a CJ Uzomah deal which the Bengals should not match, the same as they didn't the Uzomah deal. Either draft a TE, or sign the next Uzomah/Hurst that will come here on the cheap because he saw Burrow get 2 other guys who weren't anything special at his position paid.

That cap space is with Bates already gone. He's a FA. Him signing elsewhere doesn't add any extra cap space.
With how much Hurst said he likes it here, i'd be real surprised if he asks for money like that.
