The actual cap space remaining, which is $32.6 mill, per Spotrac. That's 8th highest remaining in the league.

Hendrickson won't really care what the cap space itself is, just that he gets his money.
And he likely wants it either frontloaded or more guaranteed in event he may get moved before the end of his potential new deal.

If Bengals don't want to guarantee as much, they should restructure and plan to frontload up to an extra $20-25 mill this year and drop down the subsequent years.
They have the cap space this year to bump up Trey's 2025 cap hit from $18.67 mill to $35-45 mill without going over.
