Hill fumbled away a sure win against Pitt last playoff game, didnt even double-skinned it. Then did not have one game this year that he looked nearly as good as Rex did in his one start. 

At this point it should be fair game on who the main back is. And imo, I would much rather see a Rex & Gio combo for next year, than a Hill & Gio combo. Assuming Gio is ready to go at start of season. If not there are plenty of backs they can get in free agency to fill in for Gio. But the Bengals dont operate this way, so it will be Hill as the main back again.

In my scenario, Hill isn't in the picture. Draft pick #1, Gio #2, Rex #3. 

I would obviously keep Hill on the roster to see if he was smart enough to drop some lbs, and see how he does in minis and training camp. If he looks like the same Hill we've seen the last 3 years, he gets his walking papers--providing the #1 pick looks as good as expected, Gio is progressing well and Rex is re-signed.
