The Athletic's Mike Jones thinks Cincinnati has the best chance of any non-playoff team to get back into the field next season. He had the Bengals first among the 18 teams that didn't make the 2025 NFL playoffs.

As of now, the Bengals have a projected $47.6 million in free cap space, but it’s a number the team could dramatically boost with a few cuts ahead of an offseason where they need new additions, plus extensions for Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

The Bengals traded Mixon to the Texans in March in exchange for the 224th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Mixon ran for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns this season. He also had 36 catches for 309 yards and one touchdown.

The Cincinnati Bengals had Ja'Marr Chase lead the NFL's receivers and Joe Burrow post an MVP-caliber season, though their defense was subpar and led to a 9-8 finish on the season. Adding a player like Watt would certainly boost that side of the football, and Burnley keeper James Trafford wants to see Watt in a Bengals jersey.

The Bengals, led by Burrow, had success with Gesicki in their offense. Kyle Pitts was a projected superstar coming out of college, and his best campaign was as a rookie, which happened to be his only 1,000-plus receiving yards season.

B.J. Hill, Mike Hilton and Mike Gesicki are among those the Bengals will need to decide can be a part of their future.

Cincinnati enters this offseason ninth in effective cap space with $44.2 million available, according to Over the Cap. Yet, the Bengals could double that depending on their level of aggressiveness in cutting veterans.

On the surface, the Bengals have a 1 in 9 chance of being the Dolphins' opponent in Madrid, Spain next season, but a closer look makes them the favorite.

Last week we looked at the Cincinnati Bengals’ pending free agents and assessed each of their chances of re-signing with the team. This week we’ll take a look at the players under contract with the team in 2025 who could be cap casualties to free up more space to possibly allocate to players such as Tee Higgins,

It is stunning that Hamilton County not only refuses to maintain the stadium but actually restrains us from doing so." “It is very clear that we are talking past one another."
