They also have to negotiate with Chase this off-season preferably before Jefferson resets the market would be nice to see the Bengals beat the Vikings to it.

Yep exactly.

And not to mention the Bengals typically like to keep $10-15 mill in cap going into the draft too, so they can't afford to (or won't) spend $50+ mill on just 3 guys when they have other needs.

I think the more likely scenario is 1 guy, possibly 2, will be retained.

I lean on the most likely to retain being Jonah Williams, as long as he's willing to stay at RT.
Higgins would be second-most likely but he will be the most expensive.
Reader I don't think has a high likelihood (at least not at his same or higher price point) because he'll be 30 years old and Bengals don't sign old FAs.
