They will reserve about $20-25 mill for draft pool, injuries, and extensions.

With that said, they need to replace the following positions:
- 5 OL spots (Hart, Fisher, Ogbuehi, Redmond, Hopkins)
- 2-3 TE spots (Eifert, Kroft, Uzomah)
- 2 LB spots (Brown, Rey)
- 1 DL spot (MJ)
- 2 DB (Dennard, Wilson)
----------------------
12-13 total

That's a lot of positions to fill through FA/draft, so I'd expect the Bengals to try to fill with as many B-to-C tier FAs as they can.

I can see your positions. I would just add we had a ton of injuries last year and we did have some guys come in and show they have potential with more experience. We also had some guys show they likely need to be replaced. Core disappointed me as did Malone especially at WR. Some of the DT's we had playing last 3 games showed some promise. McRae could replace Wilson in my opinion. I am just saying some of the guys you have listed are far from top tier in 2018 and some did not even play much if any.
