The Bengals claim that they only had $15 million to spend was not correct, but the claim that they can blow $37 million is also false.  There is a link floating around to a very good article that shows that the Bengals realistically had about $27 million in cap space to spend. 

Lets wait until all the extensions are done and all free agwenst are signed before we accuse them of being cheap.

To support Fred's statement, here are some notable FAs next year:
Tyler Eifert
Kevin Zeitler
Gio Bernard
Dre Kirkpatrick
Shawn Williams
Andrew Whitworth


The Bengals will absolutely need to reserve a good chunk of change to keep a few of these upcoming 2017 FAs.
