If you're talking like $8 mill or less for King, $7 mill for Warford (his asking price last offseason), and $3-4 mill for Moore, I think that may sit easier with people reading the mock.

But I think especially with King, I'd prefer to keep WJ3 if the Bengals have room in the budget for him.

65 mil cap space after releases minus 10m for a top 5 draft class. 55m..ish

Carl Lawson 11m
Quinton Spain 5m
Mackenzie Alexander 6m
Larry Warford 8m
Kevin King 6m
David Moore 4m
Kevin Huber 3m
Randy Bullock 2.5m
Brandon Wilson 3m
= 48.5

They also need to fill like 15 more spots after those signings with that left over 6 to 8m. Also a Jessie Bates extention would be a small raise in 2021 and a huge jump in 2022.

Edit: I left numbers out on purpose for people to explore the players. Trying to guess at contracts and cap space is a fools game.
