Tee Higgins close to 22 mil, BJ Hill 10 mil, Mike Hilton 6 mil, Trent Brown close to 5 mil, Davis-Gaither close to 3 mil. Gesicki 2.5 mil, Marco Wilson 2 mil
Then 15 players around 1 mil each.
If the Bengals wanted them that much, they would be signed already.
The players on Defense especially, because Golden may have other plans on how to fix this Defense.
The Bengals have finished out of play-offs 2 straight years, so they are in a rebuild mode, not a keep winning team mode.
Fans have favorites, I like Gesicki, but Bengals let TE's go every year. They also really like this other TE that they tried to play more.
So the bad news some Fans will lose their Fan Favorites.
The good news this not a year many top names leaving. Once you get past Tee, it is not a list of big name players in the NFL.
The Bengals freeing up over 63 mil to use in a rebuild will help. Now resign of Chase long term will cut into this 63 mil. That right there probably takes it around 40 mil, which is still a good chunk of money to fix the Defense and other weak areas of this team.
Of course the Bengals will resign some of these players as always, after they hit free agency and teams are not lining up for them.
I see this Free Agency as a Positive. Dump over 63 mil, to do what needs done to get back in Play-Offs with Joe Burrow who is a winner. The Offense is pretty much Zac Taylor and Golden should be OK on Defense. Resign Chase long term and fill the gaps at other positions in Free Agency and Draft. Maybe even resign Hendrickson to be here after 2025, maybe.
Bengals will have the salary cap money to try to fix the defense, so that Burrow isn't expected to score 60 points a game. The Chiefs let Hill go and kept winning, and it's a copy cat league. Chiefs kept Mahomes to Kelce, Bengals keep Burrow to Chase, and you have Defense and such like Chiefs, you say good-bye to a Hill or Higgins, but Chiefs show that is how you keep winning.
GO BENGALS.....They could use the over 63 mil to get this team from losing back into the play-offs and Super Bowl hunt where they should be with Burrow to Chase. ....GO BENGALS
