If you're not going to go all out to put together the best roster next year, you might as well clean house now. Operating in the middle ground has zero upside.
We still have enough core talent for the next few years (until Atkins and Dunlap decline) to atleast be mediocre.
It's very rare in the NFL to actually clean house and get rid of all of your veterans. The Browns did it and the 49ers were forced to when a bunch of players retired.
The Bengals probably feel that guys like Jackson, Vigil, and Billings can step in and start. Then the 1st Round pick this year. That's in theory 4 new starters.
