The Bengals have a couple of free agents in Higgins and Hill they need to replace or re-sign just to get back to last years 9-8 team talent level. According to over the cap the Bengals effective cap space is about 43 million. If they were to give Higgins 30 million, that would leave just 13 million for Chase and Hendrickson's raise/extension. Jamarr's 5th year option will pay him 21.8 million. If you gave JaMarr the full 13 million cap left, that would pay him 34.8 million this year when Chase will want 35+ million on average. In this scenario Trey Hendrickson gets no raise and BJ is gone with no replacement. I hope Burrow, Chase and Higgins can score 50 points a game or play defensive if they are going to take up that much total cap space.
I don't have the best understanding of the salary cap and all the ways it can be manipulated. But it's clear to me reading your post that you don't have a very good understanding.
