There are official cap numbers only teams and agents see, the difference could potentially be some bonus structures and minor incentives that don’t always get captured correctly from those sites. Also they do occasionally get contracts wrong. Not sure where OP got the number but if it came from the team or a national reporter it may very likely be correct.

I know Spotrac was already using the 208.2 number that's been made official, plus the 5.3m rollover from last year, which put them at 213.5 total. After tagging Bates, they have the current cap space at 35.9...which seems pretty accurate.

With the franchise tag for Jessie Bates, the Bengals are currently at $161,000,000 This is without the rollover. Bengals are expected to roll over $5.3 mill, which would bring their 2022 cap to $213.5 mill. Spotrac has the Bengals with $35.8 mill in cap space after Bates tag ($12.9 mill). Bengals are now at 47 rostered players, so there will be 4 more players added before knocking any players' caps off. Not as much to work with as some thought.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!

I could have sworn the NFL.com article posted yesterday about his extension said $13.5 mill. Maybe they corrected it after the official number was set. EDIT - Regardless, I do feel like that while some of the depth contracts essentially won't be counted, thus making the available room higher when all is said and done, I can definitely see the lower number impacting the FA signings. This is going to be a long week of waiting lol.

Over the Cap has the Bengals at 49 total players and 34.6 mil in cap space after tagging Jessie Bates.

Keep in mind that if we sign Jesse to a long term deal it will probably give us more cap space.

Still many open spots for 47m after cutting Wayne's Corner (+ Depth) Defensive Tackle (+ Depth) Tight End Right Tackle Offensive Guard (unless they depend on both Smith and Carman) Wide Receiver Depth 3rd Safety Punter Backup QB I know they can fix some of those in the draft but that 47 mil will disappear fast and considering the Bengals like to roll over 8ish million yearly it could be even less.

If they decide to sign a C, there's also 6m available by cutting Hopkins to help offset that signing.

Correct, and now the bengals have all the leverage in the world, to negotiate a long term contract. 2022 - 13m 2023 - 15.6m (120% of 22) 2024 - 22.4m (144% of 23) 3 years 51m or 17m a year. If reports are true he wants 18-20m/year, it would be bad business for the bengals and unwarranted by the player/agents. A 5 year 75-80m deal, with 51m gtd, would be the absolute most the bengals should offer. This would be 15-16m a year and offer him the same gtd money as 3 franchise tags

Shrank fast lol. I think they can work in two solid outside free agents or one big name.
