Cincinnati Bengals Salary Cap: A Tight Squeeze

The Cincinnati Bengals salary cap space is narrower than fans might think, with recent signings like Jonathan Allen, Bryan Cook, Josh Johnson, and Boye Mafe eating into their budget. With around twenty-two million dollars left before September, the team faces significant commitments. Their eight draft picks will cost fourteen million, but only seven million counts against the current cap. Add in practice squad salaries and workout costs, and over fourteen million disappears. The Bengals are considering extensions for young stars like Dax Hill, DJ Turner, Chase Brown, and Myles Murphy to manage future hits. They plan to hunt bargain veteran deals, keeping flexibility without big risks. Expect the Bengals to finish the offseason with minimal cap room, prioritizing locks for their core over splashy moves.
