However, the Bengals can get back a pretty significant cap amount by cutting Collins and Mixon.
Mixon - $7.2 mill
Collins - $6 mill
Total - $13.2 mill
The Bengals could look to do these moves to cover the cost of McGlinchey for 2023 while still keeping Jonah Williams in his 5th year option.
Then, in 2024, Jonah's freed up money covers McGlinchey while Carman (or a new draft pick) takes over LT full-time.
Also, absolutely not to having Adeniji back on the team next year. Dude is terrible.
If Mixon is cut or traded before June 1, the Bengals would save 7.2 million in cap space. However, if the Bengals wait until after June 1 that clears 10 million in cap space.
If Collins is cut or traded before June 1, the Bengals would save 6 million in cap space. However, if the Bengals wait until after June 1 that clears 7.7 million in cap space.
Instead of having 13.2 million, you would now have 17.7 million in more cap room if you wait until after June 1 on those cuts/trades
Added.. You could also save a potential 12.6 million by getting rid of Jonah and going with Carman at LT
