If the Bengals were to trade for Darren Waller they are only on the line for his base salary so in 2023 that would be 1.1m base salary and that's all it counts against the cap (less acutally because its week 7). Since the are not liable for the guarantees they can cut Waller with zero dead cap before rhe 2024 season or keep him at his 10m base salary. 


Essentially it's a very cheap contract to just finish this year alone so I wouldn't see a team giving up more than a 6th round pick.
