Anything the Bengals want to do in free agency should include shedding QB Andy Dalton's contract. After they tagged WR A.J. Green and tendered four restricted free agents, Cincinnati has around $3.8 million in salary cap wiggle room as the negotiating period opens. It is still holding space for draft salaries, future injury costs, dead money, etc. For the team to get up to $20 million as it anticipates, it would likely need to shed Dalton's expiring contract worth $17.7 million in cap space.
