Safe (in millions) - Geno, $13,9, Dre K. - 4.2, Carlos - 10,8, Glenn - 2 million, Uzomah - 6.3, Hart - 5.5, Miller - 6.5, P. Brown - 4.2, John Ross - 10.1, Dennard - 2.5, Price - 7.5 and Webb 2.5


Questionable (based on thousands)
- Dalton - 0, Boling - 500,  Bernard - 750, S. Williams - 800, Huber - 700, Vigil - 173, Bullock - 800, Boyd - 324, Willis - 452, Hubbard - 679, Lawson - 326 and Evans - 78

We can cut or trade guys, but mostly we seem to cut them. I see guys like AD who are not cap hit, but no replacement drafted so no danger. I see a guy like Ross going nowhere since his cap hit is 10.1 million in 2019

What do you think? I know many have favorites or dogs, but sadly some of those dogs likely have zero chance of being cut or traded due to the cap hit.

It's sad that a $2 mill dead cap could keep someone safe. That's not even 2% of the total cap, so not a substantial amount. One would think $5 mill would be a more realistic safe amount and anything lower would be unsafe, but the Bengals don't like much dead cap hit at all.

You need to include Redmond and Westerman in the Questionable category given the glutton of IOL the team now has with the additions of Miller, Jordan, and perhaps even Williams (although I'm more inclined to put him at OT). Neither Redmond nor Westerman makes above $645k.
