The Bengals estimated cap space with DK and Minter is $18 mill. Remove Smith's $3 mill and you're looking at $21 mill.
The OL tag for $13.8 mill would still have left some for extensions ($7.2 mill).
7.2 million isn't nearly enough to give a signing bonus that is going to be needed for both of these guys (Burfict/Eiffert) . If you don't plan on resigning both it makes sense, but if you do that would be an issue.
