I gave you some names. 100 million in cap space. This 100 million is without cutting Cappa (who will get cut). 

WR - Extend Chasae - 4 years 125 million. 32 million a year
DT - Osa Odighizuwa - 4 years 100 million. 25 million a year. 
Safety - Javon Holland - 4 years 65 million. 16 million a year. 
Edge - Josh Sweat - 3 years 75 million. 25 million a year. 

You added three really good players on defense. 

Draft another edge like Nic Scourton and a CB like Benjamin Morrison in the first couple rounds. One of those with the pick you aquired in the trading of Trey. This defense is built for the next 4-5 years.

Don't forget to account for any re-signings that the team may do, as well. And, while it "looks" like the Bengals could have around $100M in cap space, whatever number we think it is, typically turns out to be about 20% less according to the team each year. I like the players you chose, but I think that Holland is going to be a $20M/per guy and Sweat would be a huge gamble at $25M/per. He's only had a single season of double digit sacks, the rest is similar to Hubbard production numbers. You're wanting to replace BJ Hill with Odighizuwa for $25M/per? I think they'd be better off re-signing BJ Hill for 2 years at $25M total.
