Gotta Keep Building through FA

They have 36 players under contract next year.

Spending 198M this year on a 208 M Cap

Teams are going to struggle mightily getting under the cap

This is good for teams like the Bengals because there should be less competition for prime FAs

Teams may have to cut mid-high priced players to get under the new number


Prime Cut Candidates:

Dunlap
Gio
Uzomah
Hart

Those alone free up 25M
AJ Green saves another 18

198-43 = Get Bengals to 155

Might want to pump the brakes on that arithmetic there.  We don't know what the cap will be reduced to, after all of the lost revenue from all of these empty and sparsely populated stadiums this season.
