The Bengals have a total of 63 players with guaranteed money. 
There were 3 other teams that had 63 players; Bears, Raiders, Buccaneers
There was 1 team that had 62 players; Packers
There were 2 teams that had 61 players; Browns, Titans

As i said, this doesn't really prove anything, just goes to my point that if we're talking about payouts, (seemingly) regardless of what type of payout that is, the Bengals are going to be at or near the bottom of every one of those lists. They're not at the bottom of this list, as there are 6 other eams with the same or less players due guaranteed money...but...they're still near the bottom. 

It is only fair to point out that the majority of teams had a number in the 60s, with a few hitting 70+. Jax actually had 81, which is the most in the league.

Arguably our best defensive player is on year 3 of his deal. He has zero guaranteed money in 2025. Wouldn;t that impact these numbers if we have signed players to shorter term contracts so their guaranteed portion is at the end or gone versus new contracts signed that have the max guarantees still? Burrow is down the road on his deal for example, his guarantee today is a lot less than when he signed the deal.

I am not questioning your numbers, thanks for doing it, just having a converation on how to analyze it all.
