I started a thread about using bonuses to lower cap spending so they could afford to field a great team.
These cash bonuses allow the cap hit to be smaller in the early years while all money is guaranteed and higher when the money is not guaranteed.
I hope we are creative signing Chase, Higgins and others. I hope we extend Trey; he deserves it.
I also hope we need to invest at OG and DL in free agency, not average players, but go get the best OG available for example. Use some money from a possible Cappa cut and or others mentioned.
Great stuff, thanks for sharing. They explained much better than my attempt.
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.
