Mikeslumina Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Good luck to cj. When jets cut salary end of this year hopefully we can get him back as a veteran leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_C_Deadpeople Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Did the Jets sign another TE for a similar contract as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they are both related to Collins as well, and fall back options for teams. Of the 3, I am likely in the minority as I would prefer Brown as a RT. Then I think you also sign Bozeman and have a starting OL of ... Jonah -- Karras -- Bozeman -- Cappa -- Brown - There is also no reason why the Bengals shouldn't be able to secure DB Tre Flowers, I wouldn't imagine him being expensive. Would rather have Tretter than Bozeman. Solid, but at a lower cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Yeah, I'd prefer Tretter to Bozeman. Bengals should be willing to trade a day 3 pick for Lael Collins. To answer a question earlier, the legal tampering period only applies to free agents to be. Players can always recruit but coaches and executives can't tamper with players under contract for the 2022 league year. If we add Tretter and Collins, the O-line is fixed and we can look for a couple of CBs. We can still clear almost 17 mil in cap space by cutting Waynes and Hopkins. Brandon Wilson shouldn't sleep too deeply either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 As to the cap: was reading about the “Top-51 Rule”—which was into effect as of 4pm yesterday. I’m no cap wonk, but the looks of the wording is that the Top 51 salaries on a team as of that date, counts as the “ceiling” and that teams had to be below the league set number by then. If this is the case—and please clarify if you know different—then the players the Bengals currently on the roster (not sure about recently added players) constitute the cap limit. I didn’t see what happens if teams go past this going forward. I bring this up, because of the “cut Waynes/Hopkins and get more space” comments. Would they really benefit from that? Thanks for the education Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|westside bengal| Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 I am no expert either and if I remember correctly the Top 51 Rule is in effect from opening day (Yesterday) till the first week of the season in September and then goes to Top 53 Rule. And the 51 rule is based on salary cap hit. IIRC if you release a guy his cap hit comes off the list which for Waynes is ~$15 million. His Dead Money is $5 million so subtract that and the Bengals would be ~$10 million. Since you have 50 players now the player that was 52 on the list moves up to 51. But as I said I am not an expert.
