I think we need around 30 million in 2025 to rebuild the trenches. Then we have Chase at additional 7 million minimum in 2025 on an escalating scale each year. If we cut Stone, we also need a vet safety.
The question becomes assuming Tee is minimum of 22 million and then what you can they do for 8 million to fix:
2 Guards - one vet like expensive Smith if he does not resign with Chiefs, or a lesser option like Daniels from Steelers or Bechton from Eagles. Bechton seems to have found a home at RG after not doing well at tackle. I am watching Eagles, and he looks very good. I would think he may command in the 12 or 13 million a year range. y plan for 2 guards is assuming we cut Cappa. We need to resign Hill and also add another DT to replace my Rankins cut.
I also plan to cut Hubbard, but we need to upgrade his position. Ny cuts take us up to 74.5 million in cap space.
Cappa
Rankins
Hubbard
Stone
Moss

Additions to 2025 cap needed
Chase - 7 million (already a 21,6 million hit in 2025)
Bechton - 13 million
Hill - 12 million
Hilton - 5 million
Vet DT - 14 million
Vet Safety - 8 million
Higgins puts us over the cap unless creative cap moves are made
Vet WR like Slayton - 11 million
That is 70 million and we still need practice squad of 4 million and our rookies
Bengals FO has some tough decisions to make. I hope they make the correct in FA and the draft

Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!
