Based on projections, they are going to have around 220 million in cap space as it currently stands.
The only guys they are currently paying over 10 million a year are Burrow and Orlando Brown. Logan Wilson is the ONLY other positional player that is on his second contract.
They are literally paying no one and have no one else worth paying on the team other than Chase, Higgins, Hendrickson, and whatever other free agents they want to sign this year.
Lets say you sign Higgins, Chase, and Trey for around 100 million total...you STILL have around 100 million in cap room for 2026 and beyond. WILD.
This FA iteration could be the one that breaks fans.
I don’t think Iv ever truly felt this way before and i was PISSED that we let TJ Houshmandzadeh walk.
But not Jessie Bates, not ANYONE would be as hurtful as letting Chase, Tee and Trey walk and it’s because of what you said. We literally have no one else to pay. I could honestly see the city of Cincinnati trying to push the Browns out of ownership at that point cause i could not justify spending another dollar on this team.
We literally have no one else to pay
