So you're gonna basically force out a good player just to have worry about spending an early draft pick or expensive salary on a potential upgrade?

If you let go of Hilton, you're only freeing up $6.45 mill.
That's not going to get you a good deep safety.
And the Bengals will have too many other needs to take a safety in Rd 1 or Rd 2 in the draft.

Bengals have so much youth at DB now with the departures of Apple, Bates, and Bell. Awuzie also likely not returning.
Hilton will be the only veteran starter back there.
He's also familiar with the defense and has made solid impacts in the years he's been here.
You gotta keep him around for this final year.

Also, let's give Hill (and Battle) another year before writing off and looking for a replacement.
We do that way too quick with draft picks, IMO.
