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?
Or Mixon, if Mixon can get over the fact that RBs don't get paid top dollar anymore. The team and Mixon have both seen what has transpired with Todd Gurley and Levon Bell. My guess is that the team will not extend anyone and let the season play out.
Dalton will be gone unless he agrees to an extreme pay cut, which is highly unlikely. The team would be better over rolling over extra cap space, if it's allowed to under the new CBA.
