Sptrac has them at 12 milion so not sure whih one or if either has it correct. But they still have cap money to spend. Why do they need to create more cap money now? Bengals fans want the team to go all in to win whch is fine, but not fine for those same fans to go all in on the team can't win unless every free agent they want is signed.
I get it, fans don't trust the FO. I do trust the FO mainly because if not, I need to quit being a fan. I will always choose hope over gloom. I think the 2025 team if they have a bad draft and don't sign one more FA will win at least 10 games and make the playoffs. Once in the playoffs, I have faith and trust in Joe Burrow to win one game at a time at home or on the road.
Others are saying the team sucks and we have not drafted yet. The gloom and doom croud gets tiresome and old. But hey by all means live your Bengals lives in despair, no skin off my back. For those fans, the Bengals will win in spite of your lack of support.
I'm not doom and gloom. I just can't by in to lying to myself at the moment. I'm sure that will change as the season draws near. I bought into the FO on the oline before the 2020 season and that didn't work out to well. We just invested heavily into the offense and we need to protect that investment. It now looks like that will take 2 early picks for the IOL and let the defense priorities take a back seat. Which I'm fine with and have that rebuild take a couple years. Just don't let Burrow get pummeled again we literally can't afford for this to happen.
