Tier 1: Rocky Balboa "Cut me, Mick": Cappa, Rankins
Tier 2: If we need the money: Hubbard, Moss
Tier 3: Probably not, but let's see how the draft goes: Stone, Pratt
I think we have more tier one guys we need to cut.
1 - Cappa, Rankins, Hubbard and Moss
2. - Stone
Tier 1 cuts would give us over 31 million in additional cap space and a ton of cash as well which will be needed if we decide to tag or sign Tee long term. Those 4 cuts would give us 94 million in cap space. Those in my tier 4, only one is a current starter we would need to replace and spend cap and cash. The other 3 are backups or non-contributors in 2024.
Hibbard lost his starting job, and Murphy is simply better now. Cappa gets paid too well for an average OG. Rankins has not seen the field due to injury and sickness and Jenkins and McKinley appear to be ready to take next step in 2025. Chase Brown is our RB1 and Moss saves us almost 4 million in cap space if we cut him. Stone is playing better of late, but it depends on what is available in FA or if decide to go saftey in round 1 of draft (I don't think we will, but possible).
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.
