Carter and Tufele as the starting tackles?  Even if you could somehow sign Madubuike you would probably want to keep Hill so you at least have two quality starting defensive tackles.

Hubbard I dont think is worth 10 million either but he is above average and his dead cap hit would be 4 million this year.  I would rather keep Hubbard at least for 1 more year than lose an above average defensive end and have a 4 million cap hit to do it.

Hendrickson is signed for another 2 years.  Im not sure the Bengals extend him after they extended him last year.

Mixon being cut would save the Bengals 6 million in cap space but Im not sure the Bengals do that after Mixon agreed to redo his contract last year.

BJ Hill is absolutely worth his contract.  Don't believe me?  Imagine if we cut him and tried to replace him via free agency.  Who has proven his stats or greater that would sign for less money?
