Most of the players toward the bottom are going to potentially be replaced by draft picks or other FAs, so their cap is negated in a way.
That's why even though the cap only says $49 mill, a decent chunk will get replaced, which essentially means Bengals have more cap to work with.
Players that very likely won't make it that are listed:
Noah Spence ($895k)
Lamont Gaillard ($895k)
Jake Browning ($825k)
Keandre Jones ($825k)
Wyatt Hubert ($731k)
John Brannon ($705k)
Elijah Holyfield ($705k)
Pooka Williams ($705k)
Scotty Washington ($705k)
-----------------------------
$7.036 mill
You can also probably toss in Trayveon Williams ($965k), Isaiah Prince ($965k), and Thad Moss ($705k) to that list, getting the Bengals nearly an extra $10 mill in total.
But we are still under 51 players, so how much cheaper can we sign replacements?
The $7.036 million savings you project will have to be used to sign other guys at almost the same price.
