Do the Bengals have enough to sign an OL? Yes.

However, the Bengals might be viewing their remaining cap space as money for extensions to multiple players who hit FA next year.
The "big 3" are Mixon, Green, and WJ3.
You also have Alexander, Lawson, Tate, Ross, and Shawn Williams, all guys who saw a quality number of snaps last year in the games they played.

The Bengals currently look to have ~$80 mill in cap space for 2021, which will get eaten up quickly if/when a few of these guys get extended.

If the Bengals were to sign Warford, it might mean losing (at least) one of Mixon, Green, or WJ3.
Would fans be ok with that?

I say continue to build from the draft and use $$ to resign and lets see if our young lineman we have can improve/pan out this year.. Projections are we will be in the top 10 for draft picks next year.. so good position to draft a tackle/guard
