The Bengals could gain a ton of cap space by restructuring contracts paying base salary with a bonus and spread it over the course of the contract thus savings million on guys like Reader and Trey. 
Go NFL Spotrac and look under transactions tags, teams are doing this to get the cap money they need in 2022. We have not done it yet, but we can.

So it becomes a question of how bad they want to add a player, they can restructure contracts and get the cap money.
