It’s been a busy offseason for the Cincinnati Bengals just like every other team.
The Bengals retained a number of key free agents, while letting some walk and signing a few key defensive free agents. As of Tuesday afternoon, the Bengals have the 18th-most cap space at around $22 million. That number could still increase with some contract restructures.
Let’s take a look at the Bengals’ moves this offseason including new additions and departures.
