But the likelihood of the Bengals getting them drops as more and more agree to terms elsewhere.

All they need to reserve is $12 mill for the draft pool. They only have $25 mill to work with for all their FAs (internal and external) until they can get Dalton and/or Kirkpatrick off the books.

Approach will likely never change until the FO changes.
And the FO will likely not change until the franchise is sold.

The likelihood of the Bengals getting those remaining increases as more and more agree to terms elsewhere. There are only so many landing spots in the League and teams' cap space is getting exhausted by the hour.

The Bengals can cut Dalton and Kirkpatrick if they need to, so that's in their control and needn't hold up matters. What is more likely to hold up matters is that their no.1 priority at the moment is probably trading Dalton.
