The Bengals now have $8.95 mill in cap space.
The one caveat with that is the draft picks are expected to cost ~$11.5 mill when all is said and done, which could put the Bengals over the cap if no one is cut/traded.
I think the most likely scenario that happens is Dalton is traded/cut during or after the draft, freeing up enough cash for the Bengals to not only sign their draft picks but also extend a guy before the season starts. Maybe WJ3 or AJ Green.
Your thoughts?
It doesn't hurt anything to have him on the team until just after the draft. They'll almost definitely cut him if he's not traded during the draft. I heard from Tyler Dragon podcast they're closer to re-signing Green than Mixon
