DE: Josh Sweat, Chase Young, Malcolm Koonce, Ojulari. Bengals like big DEs, so Koonce and Ojulari are out.
Interior D-Line: I see no one of value in 2025 FA list. which means draft. This year's draft has several quality interior D-Line.
Safety: Jevon Holland - young and will be highest paid S. Others are all 28+.
CB: Asante Samuel, Byron Murphy, DJ Reed, Carlton Davis. Samuel and Murphy are 25 and 26.

C: Dalman or bust.
OG: Smith (can't believe KC got a first rounder in the sixth round - blood clot and all aside).

So basically, you're proposing that the Bengals should add about $80M AAV to the payroll? 

Even going cheap, say with only Holland and Smith, you're still looking at adding $40-45M for just the two of them. (which I could live with)
