Whitworth is 9 mil, Peko is 4.5 mil and LaFell is 2.5 mil which adds up to 16 mil saved by letting these 3 walk......I would franchise tag Kirkpatrick ASAP so we don't lose him. He will get paid high in the tag for a year but we just cut 16 mil from payroll. Zeitler gets 1.8 mil and I think we can get him resigned. He would be cheaper than Kirkpatrick to resign. Franchise tag Kirkpatrick, resign Zeitler...Let all the others walk.......Now some on this list may resign cheap. Cheap is a word Mike Brown loves. .....Burkhead should be a cheap resign. Young players under 30 making under a mil are DE- Margus Hunt, DT- Brandon Thompson, CB- Chykie Brown, CB- Brandon Boykin, RB- Rex Burkhead and K - Zach Hocker ....Combined they make less than 4 mil right now. I'm not sure the NFL teams are going to come running for these players. I do not think any of them are ALL MADDEN or GRUDEN GRINDERS and make or break a team.
So, save the 16 mil off the bat.....Franchise Tag Kirkpatrick and resign Zeitler....Other than keeping these 2, I don't care about the rest. The team will win 3 or 4 games tops in 2016. It is time for changes and firings and shake-ups anyway going into 2017. We have a decent defense going into 2017 if we keep Kirkpatrick....The 2017 offense needs to be a lot better than the 2016 offense, but Zeitler is our best O Lineman and need kept. I think we keep these 2 and still have money left over from the 20 mil saved by dumping the others. We can be players in Free Agency with the extra cash and not forced to make it all the NFL draft.
Not listed here is the declining skills of Pacman Jones. Is he on a long term contract ? I would be dumping his payroll any possible way. I would like to upgrade at LB and make some LBs now possible payroll cuts. I'm not sure this Hill and Bernard thing is working. The Offense needs reworked, especially O Line. In the end there could be more payroll moves of dumping players for new players, which I more than welcome after this lousy season.
Areas Bengals are getting ripped off by agents.....Pacman Jones- 7.3 mil....Ryan Hewitt at 2.5 mil seems money that could be used better.....Not sure Vincent Rey is worth 3.5 mil......Is Gio Bernard giving us 5 mil worth .....Is Boling worth 5.2 mil........Is MJ at DE worth 5 mil......Is Maualuge worth 5 mil.....Is Clark Harris worth a mil.....Is Dansby worth 2 mil.....Why are they paying Peerman a million bucks....Combined they are 37.5 mil of payroll that many winning teams would not tolerate......I think some steals are McCarron at .6, Bodine at .6, Wright at .5 and Hill at .9.........For saying Mike Brown is cheap, I look at this and think Mike Brown is stupid. 2.5 mil for a FB that we hardly use. Really. A million for Ced Peerman who is almost never in uniform. I think Mike Brown more stupid than cheap. 3.5 mil for Hewitt and Peerman. I don't see that at all.....This is why we need a GM but sadly will never have one.
