Hill was under contract, Burkhead was an unrestricted FA. This isn't a kept one over the other.

First - Burkhead had the choice to leave...it's not like the Bengals could force him to stay against his will short of using the tag...and no..just no Burkhead is not the guy you tag.

Secondly - Hill being cut would = dead money and the team doesn't do that, not too mention this is a contract year and now Mixon is here. If there was ever a reason to be motivated, this is the season for Hill to be that guy.

Hill will most likely be gone at the end of this year when his rookie contract runs out, and then it will be Gio and Mixon and perhaps Tra Carson from the practice squad or whoever they pick up next but Burkhead was not in the long term plans and it's time we move on.
