The Cincinnati Bengals once again don’t figure to be big spenders in free agency this year.

Despite major needs along the offensive line and having north of $30 million in cap space, not to mention cash rolled over, the Bengals don’t sound like a team ready to spend on a high-quality starter.

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Paul Dehner Jr., the Bengals see themselves spending only $15 million, if that:

“After taking into consideration all the extras that go into the salary cap from a Bengals perspective and telling Adam Jones they are declining his option the team sees about $15M in 2018 cap hits to work with on the open market. They have about another $10.6M in carryover cash that is there if they need it, but that’s typically reserved for extensions of their own players in August and September.”

Dead money, injuries, rookies and cuts, among other expenses, apparently help the Bengals reach this number. The rollover cap is what they’ll use to work on extensions for guys like Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap.

What Bengals fans will find frustrating, though, is the fact this $15 million isn’t strictly for outside free agents — it could be used to bring back guys like Russell Bodine or Tyler Eifert, for example.

After re-signing for two years at season’s end, coach Marvin Lewis said doing a better job of adding free agents from other teams was a priority. The Bengals, though, don’t appear to be giving themselves a lot to work with. For context, a top offensive tackle on the market like Nate Solder or a guard like Andrew Norwell could command $12 million or more per year.

Unless the Bengals make some creative cuts to free up more space, they have an apparently limited budget to address bringing back their own players and adding new faces.
