Bengals currently have $30 mill in cap before the Brown signing.
If it's just ~$15 mill or so, I would imagine they'll only have ~$10 mill of cap space left to work with since they'll hold onto a bit for the draft.
Available cap could play a big factor into what SAF/CB/OG/TE might get signed in the coming days/weeks.
Releasing Mixon as a pre-June 1 cut will return $7.3 mill in cap.
Releasing as a post-June 1 cut will return $10 mill in cap.
That saved cap could be huge for improving the team.
Cap hit will be $8.8 mil
The huge bonus is spread throughout the deal, the 1st year salary is only $1mill or something weird like that.
