What the close to a million in cap space opening each week that Trey would sit out does, besides just keeping the money. There are free agents less money than Trey on defense Bengals could bring in, and many more free agents once NFL teams make their cuts Tuesday 26th. The Bengals could add player to become a better defense by the time they get to play-offs. I know Bengals defense is rough now, but if this team could hit it's stride and the defense becomes kind of good as season goes along. That is the goal anyway, to be on your game going into the play-offs.
So the around a million week in cap space if Trey sits out. Some free agents on defense are Za Darius Smith or Clowney as Edge Rusher. Rasul Douglas or Asante Samuel at CB. Justin Simmons or Marcus Williams at Safety. Plus more Free Agents hitting the open market looking for a team after all NFL teams have to make a lot of player cuts on Tuesday 26th deadline. The extra million a week could let defensive coach Golden suggest to Bengals some free agent players to bring in that could maybe help this team This Season.
OK, we all want Trey to Play....but if he doesn't, the extra million per week in cap space could get some help in here to help win This Season. There could be Free Agents who could help this defense.
The Colts game will be the last game for many Bengals also. It is NFL Cut Time. So those not getting it done will be gone. Plus Bengals cut Zach Moss and opened some cap space with that move. So the Bengals are either set to take vacations with this money as you suggest, OR bring in some free agent players to help this team This Year as I suggest. If Trey don't Play, then Plan B has to be brining in some D Help in early part of season to try to have a defense that is better hitting it's stride for play-offs in mid to late season.
There is an O Lineman fans on here want, but Bengals would now be wise to wait and see the O Linemen on the open market come Tuesday the 26th. D Help and O line Help may be coming. For example someone that gets cut from a Super Bowl team or good play-off team last season loaded with talent, may find an opening here. It's how Bengals got a very good kicker in Horst Muhlmann because Chiefs had Jan Stenerud. Just because the player cut didn't beat out a great player, it doesn't mean he can't help your team. Paul Brown in Cleveland cut Len Dawson and told him to go find his life's work. His life's work was going to Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs. So some cuts are great pick ups for other teams. Tampa never gave Steve Young a chance, but 49ers did and he became a Super Bowl type QB. One mans garbage is another mans treasure.
