Khalil Herbert contract details after Bengals trade for RB

The Cincinnati Bengals filled the hole left by the injury to Zack Moss by trading for Khalil Herbert from the Chicago Bears.

Herbert is in the final year of his rookie contract after originally being drafted by the Bears in the sixth round in 2021. The Bengals should take on just over $555,000 in base salary for Herbert, as the Bears have already taken care of about half of his $1.05 million total salary for this season after playing eight games. The Bengals will owe for the remaining nine games.

The Bengals only had to flip a seventh-round pick to the Bears to facilitate the trade. Herbert has recently been a healthy scratch for the Bears as D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson have handled the workload for Chicago.

The Bengals should still have about $8.5 million in cap space even after this trade — enough to make another move or two.
