For instance, we saved about a million in unearned incentives that wouldn't be reflected in Spotrac's or overthecap's numbers, but not a 7 million dollar swing.

See, for instance:

Great stuff, as always, from John discussing some additional cap adjustments (~$1M) resulting from players not earning per-game active roster bonuses that had counted against the Bengals' 2020 Cap since they were considered Likely to Be Earned (LTBE) incentives

I believe what Wes and others are referring to is that the cap is only for the Top 51 earners.
So if you have 51 players with the lowest guy making $1 mill then add a guy making $3 mill, it's really just a $2 mill increase because the $1 mill guy gets bumped out of the Top 51.
