The Bengals currently have six tight ends on their 90-man roster.
However, all of them are still on their rookie contracts, led by third-year man Tyler Eifert. He still has two years on his deal, plus a fifth-year option if Cincinnati opts to pick that up. That equates to little money being spent on this position.
Here's a salary breakdown in 2015 for the Bengals' tight ends:
POS. | BASE SALARY | SIGNING BONUS | ROSTER BONUS | WORKOUT BONUS | DEAD CAP IF CUT | CAP HIT | |
Tyler Eifert | TE | $1,155,546 | $1,096,091 | - | - | $4,113,137 | $2,251,637 |
Tyler Kroft | TE | $435,000 | $161,944 | - | - | $647,776 | $596,944 |
