Back to EpisodesBengals' Bold Free Agent Strategy: Future Over Now
Description
The Cincinnati Bengals are making bold moves in free agency by front-loading salary cap hits, a strategy that could pay off in the long run but leaves them with less flexibility now. Theyve signed Boye Mafe to a sixty million dollar deal with steep cap hits in the coming years, while the Baltimore Ravens deal with Trey Hendrickson allows them to bail after two years with minimal penalties. This approach has raised concerns about the Bengals ability to secure other key players, such as a linebacker or slot corner, and keeps the pressure on quarterback Joe Burrow to deliver immediate results.
