AFC North Teams Splurge in Free Agency, Ravens Lead

0:00On March 28th, the AFC North teams are dropping cash in free agency, but not all equal. Baltimore Ravens lead with $161 million spent, 9th in the league. Cincinnati Bengals sit second at $132 million, $75,000, 10th overall. Cleveland Browns clocked $103 million, $600,000 for 19th place, while Pittsburgh Steelers Trail at $68 million, $300,000, dead last at 23rd. Ravens patted their lead by snagging X Bengals' ed rusher, Trey Hendrickson, on a four-year, $112 million dollar deal, plus guard John, Simpson and Safety, Jalen Hawkins. Bingles zeroed in on defense, bringing in ed rusher boy Mafe, Safety Brian Cook, and defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, alongside Joe Flacco's. Return, they signed just five players total, mostly external. Browns poured money into their shaky offensive line, grabbing guard Zion Johnson for $49,000,500,000,

Steelers stayed conservative, adding cornerback Jamel Dean, running back Rico Doudel, and defensive lineman Sebastian Joseph, possibly holding out for.

All teams still have cap space, Ravens at $23 million, $500,000, Steelers $21 million, $400,000, Browns just, $9 million, $260,000. Free agency keeps rolling, so Bengals could still plug holes before the draft, closing that near $30 million gap to Baltimore, tall order, but expect more moves to sharpen that defense.
