## Resource

D.J. Turner’s contract talks with the Bengals are stalled heading into Week 1, a surprising twist given his stellar third season and the team’s offseason success. After freeing up over $10 million by restructuring Joe Burrow’s deal, the Bengals were expected to lock up Turner long-term — but now face tough choices. With Jessie Bates’ departure still stinging, the team may resort to the franchise tag, costing $23 million and leaving millions unused. With nearly $20 million in cap space, the question looms: what’s the plan for this money if they’re not investing it in their own stars?
