They didn't really sign anyone so they have room for Tee and some of these tier 2/3 free agents along with the Chase contract (which is already on the books for 22m in 2025). It's less about cap space and more about guaranteed money and signing bonuses.
This is an overlooked point; Chase 2025 salary is on books, and we still have 59 million in cap space excluding some likely cuts to create more cap space.
A Chase extension could create cap space in 2025 depending on how they structure his long term deal.
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.
