CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals will have a little bit more spending room to play with during the 2018 free agency period when it opens up on Wednesday after informing cornerback Adam Jones that they won't be picking up the option on the final year of his contract.
Jones will become an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday, which will free up $6.82 million against the cap, which is set at $177.2 million this year.
However, the Bengals' approximate cap space of $42 million is slightly deceiving because they actually view their spending money in free agency as closer to $14.
