I don't understand how his cap would affect the Bengals.  He was released from the Jets, and they are responsible for his guaranteed money.  Honestly, I don't know how or why the cap hit would apply to the Bengals.  Wouldn't that be determined by the contract the Bengals would offer?

It doesn't sound very likely, especially in light of how he will likely end back on the Jets roster.  Interesting discussion, though.
