Cap Tracker

With the Chase and Higgins extensions, Bengals now sit at $20.5 mill cap space, according to Spotrac.
However, that does not factor in the Lucas Patrick 1-year deal of $2.1 mill, which should bring the cap down to around $18.4 mill.

Note that Spotrac has already projected the Bengals' draft picks to allocate ~$5.3 mill toward the Top-51 cap hit, but it is NOT being factored into any total salary cap allocations.

If that's factored in, Bengals still would have about $13 mill left to work with.

There SHOULD be enough there for them to sign one more FA (another Guard?) and still have $5-10 mill or more reserved for extensions (of Hendrickson?) and injury later in the year.

Thoughts?
Have the Bengals managed their cap well, or could/should they have done more in FA?

(Personally, I think it fits into what the Bengals like to do around the cap, but I think they could have done more and structured the extensions of Chase and Higgins differently to have allowed for a bigger impact at G/DT)
