If the Bengals are allegedly only offering guarantees on the first year of the extension. If he doesn't sit out then there's zero chance he gets what he's looking for, in which case $8m to sit out 8 games is peanuts compared to the new guaranteed money difference.

I don't think he'd do it, but there's also the chance he practices/plays and immediately gets "hurt". Then he doesn't play because he's not "healthy" and then doesn't give up any money.

Bell never recovered the money he lost sitting out. And if Trey fakes an injury to get out of playing, the whole league will know he did it and his value would drop exponentially. Not to mention, next year he's even a year older. His best move if they don't get a deal done is to play on his existing deal, have a great season, then go somewhere else on a new deal.
