$24,5 million - It went up 4 million (maybe closer to Over the Cap so both are now similar)

Minus Draft Pool offset - 5.3 million
Minus Practice squad - 3.5 million
Minus 5 million injury pool

I estimate they still have over 10 million minimum after all is taken into account

If they needed more, they could restructure Joe Burrow and free uo esily another 10 to 15 million

Bengals have the cap space to add one or 2 players still, question becomes will they.

What's the deadline to get back under the cap? 
I still see the Rams still in the negative today, for example.

I bring this up because it seems the Bengals, yet again, are too conservative with the cap and could have done more the first 1-2 weeks of FA and worked to adjust afterwards as the dust settles rather than hold so much just in case.
Bengals could have gone and gotten 1 if not 2 more upgrades with the $10+ mill they still could use.
More than likely though, they'll say it's reserved for Hendrickson extension, which doesn't actually improve the team for 2025 even if he is extended.
