I say move on from Dalton, Pacman, Eifert, Lafell, Dennard, etc. and start the rebuild. Draft a QB round 1 and let them sit behind McCarron next year. Rebuild OL/DL next couple of drafts as well as guys like Geno Atkins and Dunlap play out their contracts. I agree though that AJ Green deserves shot to play for a winner. I'd start looking for NFC teams to try to move him to with multiple high picks being the price tag.  No pressure to trade him but if right offer comes, definitely gotta consider it. Bengals do this rebuild right they can be right back at top of division in 2019 or 2020 when Steelers and Ravens starting their declines.

The Rams might be a good candidate. While they traded for Watkins, he becomes a FA after this season and Green is an upgrade anyway.
But if the Bengals move AJ and also move on from LaFell, their WRs would be Ross, Boyd, Malone, Core, Erickson, and likely a draft pick. I doubt I'd watch the Bengals much with such unproven WRs, especially if the offense didn't become run focused with that group.
