|High School Harry| Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 The Cincinnati Bengals aren’t strangers to rolling cap space from one season to the next. Cincinnati’s front office typically does this in the $10 million range depending on extensions and other housecleaning items. This year, the number comes in at $7.4 million, per the NFLPA: The Bengals had enough cap space to comfortably roll this number over to next season while also getting stars like Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap extensions. Given the $7.4 million rollover plus a new cap leaguewide, Spotracestimates the Bengals will have a little more than $51 million in cap space to use this offseason once the new league year begins. The draft pool, free agency, bringing back their own free agents (possibly Darqueze Dennard and Tyler Eifert) while also working on possible extensions for guys like Tyler Boyd will all eat at this estimated number before the Bengals consider rolling some extra cash over to 2020.

thezerawkid Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Browns 56.5 mill? How did they even afford to field a team? *Only* 7.4 mill for our guys...spending money for a change still didn’t yield results. When you combine a stale coach with historic injuries, I guess the math bears out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it had to do with the Shazier injury and Bell not being counted this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, but they will need that extra cap in order to trade Brown, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 They didn't get cap relief for Shazier since they'd picked up the 5th year option on his contract before he got hurt. But they did save over 14 mil by tagging but not having to pay Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, they could easily trade him if he's too big a pain or if they get a good offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
