Bengals free agents list, market value estimates

The Cincinnati Bengals have some big names headed to free agency this offseason.

For better or worse, two of the biggest names happen to be at one of the Bengals’ neediest areas of the depth chart, too: Trey Hendrickson and Joseph Ossai.

To get a baseline idea of Bengals free agent values, here’s a look at the estimated market values for each, based on average annual value (AAV) from Spotrac.

Bengals free agent contract estimates

Trey Hendrickson: $25,449,056

Cordell Volson: $1,420,521

Lucas Patrick: $1,327,480

Cam Taylor-Britt: $9,162,200

Dalton Risner: $2,417,200

Cameron Sample: $1,962,479

Tycen Anderson: $1,751,124

Remember, these are AAV values, not the total contract estimates.

Each estimate comes through a formula used by Spotrac that compares snap counts, production, age and comparisons to past players and contracts.

So for Hendrickson, the roughly $25 million per year comes from comparing him to names like Khalil Mack and T.J. Watt.

It’s imperfect, obviously. Cam Taylor-Britt’s on-and off-field problems and a serious injury mean he won’t get anywhere close to the projected number above. But based on his draft status, age, position and other factors, that’s how it shakes out in the formula.

For now, this is a rough idea of possible AAV metrics and useful in thinking about the Bengals’ offseason.
