Even if Burfict does get suspended at some point in the season, the cap space has to be reserved.
And regarding OTC cap number, it's estimating $11 mill cap increase for all teams compared to 2017 whereas Spotrac estimates just $1 mill increase.
We ultimately will not know how much the cap will rise until this Winter, and same with the rollover.
But the cap for Cincinnati COULD be $40+ mill if the cap raises to what OTC predicts and the Bengals roll over $10+ mill.
For now, I prefer to go with the more conservative number. We are dealing with Mike Brown after all, who we know likes to hold back a decent chunk of cap for extensions, draft picks, and injuries.
