I believe the Bengals would only be liable for remaining prorated cap. It is possible, but there are still some other issues involved like future money that is high based on their ages.
Financially this would simply be a bad move. That isn't even looking at the idea of giving up high picks for older lineman.
If Stanley was the missing piece to make this a top caliber team, then I don't see how it could be a bad move. Stanley has several years left in him. Aging vets generally don't draw a high draft pick. We could offer a 3rd or 4th rounder.
