Bengals List of Free Agents and Potential Cap Casualties

Even though the Bengals are no longer in the the NFL playoffs, team management is working diligently behind the scenes to determine who will be on the Bengals' roster when the team opens up training camp next summer. The first order of business is to determine what players who are free agents will be attempted to be re-signed. Then the team has to determine if any current players should be cut to save money and get under the salary cap. Here are a list of players who are free agents, or who might get cut:
