Salary Cap could be around $180-185 mill, per reports

There's been some debate about what the Bengals can and should do this offseason in FA because the Salary Cap is unknown.
The minimum it can be is $175 mill, but there were some reports back in Dec that it could be closer to $195 mill per PFT.
As we get closer to the start of FA, Tom Pelissero reports it could be close to $185 mill.

Quote:Some team officials believe (and surely hope) the cap will ultimately land closer to $185 million per club - if not a little higher - than the $175 million minimum the sides agreed to last summer as they braced for empty and mostly empty stadiums.

ProFootballTalk (PFT) is now reporting that the Salary Cap may not drop to $175 mill, but it may still fall to around $180 mill.

It's worth noting the final number may not be known until just before the start of the new league year on March 17, when FA begins. Hopefully it will be at least a couple weeks sooner.
