******SIGNING BENGALS PLAYERS******PER PFF
OT Riley Reiff 2 years / 14 MILLION (no $$ added)
S Jessie Bates Franchise Tag 1 year / 13.5 MILLION (12.3 MILLON added)
TE CJ Uzomah 3 years / 25 MILLION (2 MILLION added)
DT BJ Hill 3 years / 26 MILLION (7.5 MILLION added)
******OTHER CONSIDERATIONS******
CB Trae Waynes 14 MILLION
DT Larry Ogunjobi 6.2 MILLION
DT Josh Tupou 2.1 MILLION
CB Vernon Hargreaves 2.0 MILLION
CB Eli Apple 1.2 MILLION
OG Quinton Spain 1.1 MILLION
IMO, we would have roughly $40 MILLION to sign new Free Agents & Resign our own Free Agents...and leave roughly 15 Million in Cap Space
Cut Trae Waynes….this would be enough to sign every draft choice we presently have
I’m resigning Reiff, Bates, Uzomah, Hill, Apple, Tupou and Spain which takes up $24 MILLION
I’m cutting Ogunjobi….saving 6.2 MILLION…Hargreaves saving another $2 MILLION
So we then have $25 MILLION to add to our roster thru Free Agency and still leave $$$ left over.
In the interest of time and effort, I will list the following positions in Free Agency we may attack and those available with their contract years, total dollars and Cap Hit per Pro Football Focus. Please feel free to play along and critique.
