The NFL has a real time cap database that teams and agents see and it usually is a couple million off those sites. This is usually attributed to weird mechanisms in contracts that are too hard to capture for those sites. So they very well may have more than what those sites report.
I can't speak to Overthecap, but Spotrac is usually extremely accurate and reliable (sort of the gold standard) with both cap numbers and contract breakdowns. They were already using the 208.2 number. They have the Bengals currently at 35.87m in cap space and 177.3 in total cap liabilities . By comparison, the NFLPA has the Bengals at 35.49 and 177.6, and they would definitely know what the actual number is...so Spotrac is pretty much spot on.
