All 32 teams (including the Bengals) ranked by free cap space after Tee Higgins news

The Cincinnati Bengals continue to have one of the biggest piles of cap space to use of any team in the NFL.

This, even after the news the team will use the franchise tag on wideout Tee Higgins, a $21.8 million lump sum against the cap.

It certainly doesn’t hurt that the Bengals, alongside the rest of the NFL, saw the league reveal a massive hike to the 2024 salary cap. The bar is now $255.4 million and the Bengals also had $10.7 million in rollover money to apply, too.

As such, the Bengals remain in the top 10 for total cap space before the scouting combine.

Using the numbers at Over the Cap, here’s a look at the entire league’s free cap space rankings.
