Just looked on overthecap. Wouldn't the Bengals already be on the hook for all workout bonuses and signing bonus proration this year? His salary plus game bonuses equal $8.3M, I believe the new team would be on the hook for half of that since it's midseason. I also believe trading him would be a net positive for the Bengals cap.
His 2021 salary, game bonuses & workout bonus equal $11.1M. That may be the tricky part, but I think there is zero cap hit for his new team if they cut him.
