I'm hoping they go tag-and-trade and maybe sign Godwin in free agency or someone else when teams start cutting players.

You mean if he doesn't sign the tag but no one trades for him?

From my understanding, his tag cost will be divided by number of games and Bengals will save that percentage every game he chooses to sit out.
However, that's money gained back during/after the season.
They still have to earmark the entire cap amount heading into Week 1 in the event he does sign.
