I decided I'm going to look into this coming seasons Free Agent Class...Or well look into the players who currently have 1 year deals with their respective clubs, and give my best guess on who might end up in the FA pool...First off...

Cincinnati Bengals- ocwrestler23

Carlos Dunlap LE 90 Ovr - Current Price 800k
Dunlap has been terrorizing AFC North quarterbacks, and with 94 finesse moves that should come as no suprise. He racked up 18 sacks last season, and already has 2 this year. Now oc does have quite a bit of cap space so I fully expect him to resign him. But it's going to cost him, and I figure somewhere around the 8-12 million range to lockdown Dunlap for next season. Will oc pony up the dough to secure his leading pass rusher? only time will tell...

Tracy Porter CB 91 OVR - Current Salary 1.0 Million
Porter has become a lockdown cornerback, and those are rather valuable these days..He's sure to be asking for 8-11 million to resign, and together with dunlap OC could have around 20 million tied up with these two players. Should Porter hit the free agency he could fetch well above 10 million..Just this past season Asomugha went for 18 million...

Drew Brees QB 95 OVR - Current Salary 15.0 Million
Now here's a guy I fully expect oc to let test the open market. He's got his QB of the future with Dozier, and doesn't need to spend 15 million on a veteran QB when he could spend it resigning other key players who are important for the long term of the franchise. Look for some team to walk away with a solid franchise QB in next offseason's free agency.

Jordan Shipley WR 86 OVR - Current Salary 0.7 million
Shipley is like a wes welker type receiver in the slot for the Bengals, but he should be asking somewhere in the 4-6 million dollar range to stick around..Which leads me to believe with the other more important pieces the Bengals need to sign (Porter, Dunlap), and already having Julio Jones and A.J. Green on the roster who are going to want to get paid crazy money the year after this one, that Shipley won't be a Bengal next season. I could be wrong, but I think Shipley will take his slot skills somewherelse next season. Daniel Knugs? Need your Texas Longhorn version of Welker up there in Seattle?

Taylor Mays SS 79 OVR - Current Salary 1.1 Million
The Madden enigma that is Taylor Mays.....He has amazing speed, and hit power...He's the perfect user safety really...His cpu awareness leaves him vulnerable if you don't user him...He won't ask for much to re-sign probably around 2-4 million, which should be easily affordable if they don't re-sign there other SS Ndukwe, which I expect them to do since he's on a 1 year deal anyways. But, and this is a big But if Mays reaches the free agent market I fully expect someone to pay 10+ million for at least 1 year to secure his services for coming years...
That's all I got for the Bengals, and I didn't go through all of them...Only the ones I thought were worth mentioning. Anyways there will be more to come soon!
