Bengals may have to be crafty and/or part ways with some expensive vets on the team to make good moves that get people excited before the draft.

I strongly disagree. If Bengals cut these 5 guys, they will have around 91 million in cap and can also restructure Burrow to get us over 100 million. As of now, we have 216 million in cap space in 2026 which is huge as it would allow Bengals to push cap into 2026 and beyond. If they extend Chase, it is likely his 21.6 cap hit in 2025 will be reduced for more cap room in 2025.

Bengals will have the cap space, the question becomes is will they cut the underperformers. Will they give a huge signing bonus to Tee and Jamar to lower the cap hit in 2025?
