I think this may have been proposed elsewhere, but I think the correct translation of Hobson's article is: "The Bengals' front office believes that losing Zeitler and Whitworth to free agency will net the team 3rd and 5th round compensatory draft picks. Now that there is an additional exodus of players are leaving a free agents (Peko, Burkhead, Hunt), management believes it can pursue the signing of free agents up to the value of the contracts of the additional exodus."
This is why we saw Andre Smith signed at a contract at a slightly lower salary than Peko's Denver contract. It looks like Burkhead's contract was $3.15MM for one year, which should give the team some flexibility under this self-imposed strategy.
