My response was to Jpoore who claimed the Bengals have $0 to spend during free agency next year.

I don’t anticipate the Bengals using the franchise tag on Green again next year which gives the Bengals $18M in cap space next season. Or $18M more than $0 that Jpoore claimed.

Jpoore may be right if they prioritize signing most of their internal FAs, especially WJ3 and Lawson. If they allow Lawson and/or WJ3 to leave in favor of someone like Thuney who is expected to cost $14-15 mill a year, it essentially just closes one gap (OL) but creates another (CB/DL).

I would be surprised to see the Bengals spend $10+ mill a year on an IOL player, but maybe it happens. We have a young OL and are on the lower end of positional spending for OL, so it would make sense to spend on 1-2 OL.
