Just squirted in my gaming chair, who wants to see?

Yes, the Bengals gave out the two highest 2026 Cap Hits to APY deals. The average 2026 Cap Hit was 51% of the Average Per Year. The other teams that gave out big Year 1 Cap Hits? Raiders, Titans, Cardinals. Because they don't have a QB to pay and had tons of cap space. And it's not like the Bengals are offering less cash in year one. Their year 1 Cash to APY ratio is amongst the highest in the league. They're not saving cash. They're not saving cap. They're just limiting their 2026 team. Again.

This isn't good... si.com/nfl/bengals/on…

@JoeGoodberry This team has NO cash! Poor poverty franchise.

2027 Cap Hits $18m - Hendrickson $21.3m - Boye Mafe

$15M cap hit for Trey Hendrickson in 2026

@JoeGoodberry The way they structure contracts screams that this is a cash poor organization! They would rather load the cap hit and pay less out of pocket. Their bank account takes precedent over roster building.

Defensive Ends that got multi year deals and their 2026 Cap Hits $17.0M - Boye Mafe $9.9M - Jaelan Phillips $9.4M - Kwity Paye $7.5M - Joseph Ossai $7.2M - Dre'Mont Jones $6.5M - Bradley Chubb $5.4M - Rashan Gary We're still waiting for numbers on Trey Hendrickson and Odafe Oweh.

@HungDoArtShow @Bengals Yes, so why are there only TWO FAs signed up to now?

@B2theRidges @Bengals do you not understand the concept of when the new league year starts?

We have signed DE Boye Mafe. 🔗: go.bengals.com/3PygmlN

PLEASE let this be true!

“All in” isn’t signing two dudes and chilling. “All in” isn’t refusing to change your contract structure. “All in” isn’t not restructuring Burrow’s contract to create cap space. You are NOT all in.

@JoeGoodberry I can only hope they are pouring all their energy into getting Crosby, because 48hrs of nothing is deafening!

I'm all out of strategy x.com/i/status/20318…

Man, I would totally HATE if the Bengals went after Hargrave. That would be such a bad move for this team to make.

Bengals FO working those deals today

@JoeGoodberry He's in his 30s, they won't touch him.

#Bengals... two days of crickets is a bit much. Time to do something. Plug in your 1970s coffee pot and do some work.

Leo Chenal got half of his contract guaranteed if you're still wondering if the way the Bengals do contracts limits their ability to acquire free agents.

@sickpodbengals @EliseJesseTV Overpaid

ONE WORD: Use ONE WORD to describe Trey Hendrickson signing with the #Ravens. #WhoDey #thesickpodcast @EliseJesseTV

@JoeGoodberry What are the possibilties of getting another DE and switching him to LB?
