The cap space outlook for the Cincinnati Bengals will dramatically shift in the hours and days leading up to next week's opening of free agency. Case in point, the Bengals moved around north of $30 million in salary with two moves on Monday.

The Cincinnati Bengals on Monday announced they released guard Alex Cappa. Cappa joined the Bengals as an unrestricted free agent in 2022 and is entering his eighth NFL season.

Alex Cappa has been a starter on the Cincinnati Bengals offensive line for the past three seasons, but he won't be returning for a fourth season. The team has decided to cut ties with Cappa in a move that was announced on Monday.
