They have $152m in active contracts, but looking at the top 51 contracts (as in the only ones that actually count against the cap) they're at $146.8m.
(Your $14.8m now moves up to $20m.)
The $9m in cap for the draft pool requires other players to get knocked off of that top-51 list. So for every player that you add, you have to remove one, too. They have 11 picks. Even if you remove nothing but leauge-minimum players with 0 years of experience is $480,000. That is at least $5.28m coming off the books.
(The $20m now moves up to ~$25.28m)

So even ignoring 100% of the rollover money (for God knows what reason), the Bengals still have roughly $25.28m.
Please stop spreading apologist misinformation as fact now.
Please stop acting like we only have to pay 51 players . Last year we ended the season with 13 players on injured reserve, and Brandon wilson started the season on IR.
