The Cincinnati Bengals probably won't get creative with the salary cap by making beyond-obvious moves like restructuring Joe Burrow's contract. However, it sure sounds like they're intending to make the most of the cap space they do have in free agency to help Burrow out.
Will the lack of restructure for Burrow — never mind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins — prevent Cincinnati from paying enough to score its top open-market targets? Quite possibly.
Fingers crossed that Duke Tobin and Co. have an actual plan of action that will bring meaningful upgrades to the defense.
