The Cincinnati Bengals need to get better this offseason, and the first step is adding pieces in free agency.

Cincinnati needs multiple new starters for its defense. Director of player personnel Duke Tobin has heavily hinted at adding defensive linemen to bolster the pass rush, and linebacker and safety are expected to receive notable investments as well.

Things can happen faster than you can keep track of this time of year. Make sure to bookmark this page as it will be updated for the next several weeks when new signings, releases, trades, and everything else occurs.  

Bengals’ updated salary cap space

The Bengals currently have $22,626,729 in cap space. This is calculated by subtracting the sum of the top-51 cap hits on the roster plus non-active roster cap hits in the form of “dead money” from the team’s projected adjusted cap ceiling. The NFL announced the unadjusted cap will be $301.2 million this year, which originally made the Bengals’ adjusted cap $309,966,110. This was later adjusted to $316,979,713 thanks to the league’s salary cap adjustments.

Cincinnati’s cap space will fluctuate throughout the offseason as the team adds and subtracts more players.
